“Splendidly sung, profoundly emotional, and strangely amusing. Sondheim’s masterpiece, brought back to its correct proportions, welcomes a eagerly-anticipated comeback to Broadway.” - The New York Times.
Observe the delightfully deranged partnership between the vengeance-seeking Sweeney Todd and the lively shopkeeper Mrs. Lovett. Set in the depths of a dark London, this theatrical thriller presents a comical yet darkly Victorian narrative of relatives, homicide, class disparity, and questionable little pastry shops.

The production also features the Olivier-winning choreography by Steven Hoggett and other innovative minds, like Mimi Lien (Scenes), Emilio Sosa (Costumes), Natasha Katz (Lighting), Nevin Steinberg (Sound), J. Jared Janas (Wig, Hair & Makeup), and Jeremy Chernick (Special effects).

In an earlier previous interview with leading star Josh Groban, he reflects on his journey playing the role of the main barber.
“… for me the captivating element in Sweeney Todd was the oppositions: the beautiful score combined with the darkly amusing content, the bleak storyline. There’s such a juxtaposition of splendor and darkness in the role, combined with many of the most extraordinary songs and poetry ever composed. It truly is nothing less than a masterpiece to present, regardless of the type.”
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street stands as one of Broadway’s most notable feats in the chronicles of musicals, continually applauded across its diverse iterations by the Tony, Drama Desk, Olivier, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award-giving bodies.
