Sweeney Todd at Lunt-Fontanne Theatre

Be extremely cautious when selecting the place to get your hair done. Having surpassed four decades after his first appearance, Sweeney Todd comes back to shave heads and cut throats at the notorious Lunt-fontanne Theatre on Sunday 11th February 2024.

"A engrossing revival with ample chuckles and serious frights. Experience the tale–you will not be disappointed." - Entertainment Weekly.

Once again, The Myth of the Demon Barber of Fleet Street nurtures a fresh generation of inquisitive minds with a two-hour, 45-minute presentation of fatal actions veiled in the darkness of a pre-Victorian London. Participate as an accomplice to the homicidal pair of barber and bakery owner in an troubling and hilariously distorted narrative teeming with gothic stages, enchanting choreography, and eerie melodies performed by a live orchestra composed of 26 instrumentalists.

Featuring Josh Groban in the role of Sweeney Todd and Annaleigh Ashford assuming the role of Mrs. Lovett, the show proudly exhibits top-notch on-stage skills in modern Broadway.

The grand staging of this song-filled terror includes director Thomas Kail, renowned for his direction on Hamilton, alongside Hugh Wheeler's original script and the triumphant comeback of Stephen Sondheim's award-winning score, containing songs like “A Little Priest” and “Green Finch and Linnet Bird.” Joining them are several of the stage world's most seasoned artists operating behind the concealment.

In a new interview earlier in the year, leading actor Annaleigh Ashford shared her deep admiration for the original Mrs. Lovett, theater icon Angela Lansbury.

"I forever hoped of becoming Angela Lansbury as I grew older, since she personified the ultimate role actress. She possessed the skill to discover comedy and life, as well as humanity within every single persona she played… She performed in an era when the prevailing influence was the patriarchy, and she navigated with grace and affection… On all occasions I met her — our paths crossed thrice — I cried tears in an manner that was uncomfortable enough for me to withdraw."

Quench your thirst for excitement on Sunday 11th February 2024 as Sweeney Todd: The Malevolent Barber of Fleet Street performs his grand entrance at the stately Lunt-fontanne Theatre, situated in the heart of New York.
