Sweeney Todd - A Brief History
Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a musical with book by Hugh Wheeler and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The original production opened on Broadway at the Uris Theater on March 1, 1979, and was based on both the 19th century legend of Sweeney Todd and the play The String of Pearls (1973) by Christopher Bond.
The tale of Sweeney Todd is part fact and part fiction, but wholly thrilling and horrific. Sweeney Todd is fabled to have been the first serial killer, who would slit the throats of customers at his barbershop and steal their belongings. Then, Sweeney Todd would send the corpses to Mrs. Lovett, who would cook them up into meat pies and sell them to unsuspecting customers.
The original Broadway production of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street won eight Tonys and four Drama Desk Awards, and ran for 557 performances until it closed its doors on June 29, 1980. The production enjoyed several successful revivals, and was even made into a film by Tim Burton in 2007 that starred Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd.
Now, Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is touring the United States and Canada, and will be coming to a venue near you. In this production of the musical, directed by John Doyle, there is no pit orchestra. Instead, the actors simultaneously play the instruments, sing, and act wile on stage. Sweeney Todd is an inventive and chilling musical that you do not want to miss.
