SWEENEY TODD: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater

June 26 – Aug. 1, 2027

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Hugh Wheeler, From an Adaptation by Christopher Bond

Directed by Sean Gray

London will bleed in the infamous tale of revenge, and meat pies, SWEENEY TODD! In Sondheim’s dark masterpiece, an unjustly exiled barber returns seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. His path crosses with Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop. Todd’s thirst for blood inspires Mrs. Lovett to introduce a secret ingredient to her wares, with the result of London lining up for her now delicious meat pies.  As the body count rises, this tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed, and delighted audiences across the world.
