The grand presentation of this song-filled terror includes director Thomas Kail, famous for his work on Hamilton, alongside Hugh Wheeler's initial script and the triumphant return of Stephen Sondheim's acclaimed score, which features songs like “A Little Priest” and “Green Finch and Linnet Bird.” Also participating are several of the theater world's most experienced creatives working behind the curtains.

In a fresh conversation earlier this year, primary actor Annaleigh Ashford discussed her profound respect for the original Mrs. Lovett, theater icon Angela Lansbury.

"I forever hoped of becoming Angela Lansbury as I developed older, since she personified the penultimate role actress. She displayed the skill to discover humor and life, as well as compassion within every single persona she played… She performed in an era when the prevailing influence was the male-dominated society, and she coped with elegance and affection… On all occasions I encountered her — our paths crossed thrice — I shed tears in an manner that was uncomfortable enough for me to retreat."

Quench your thirst for adventure on Friday 13th October 2023 as Sweeney Todd: The Malevolent Barber of Fleet Street performs his grand entrance at the majestic Lunt-fontanne Theatre, situated in the heart of New York.
