Who's Who

Eric Sykes

as Sweeney Todd

Eric is elated to be returning to the Alfresco stage! He first performed at Alfresco in "Breaking up is Hard to do" in 2020. Last year, Eric directed "9 to 5 The Musical" in this space. Eric has appeared in "The Andrews Brothers," "the Music Man," "Fiddler on the Roof" and more! Eric first saw Sweeney Todd in 2005 and, since then, has dreamed of taking on this role because of the depth and challenge of the character. As you'll see, Sweeney Todd is a complex character with a troubled psyche bringing sadness, hatred, and moments of happiness that are quickly overshadowed by his thirst for revenge. There is more to Sweeney Todd than cutting throats, and Eric hopes to present that to you. Eric wants to thank everyone who has supported him in his endeavors. He would also like to thank you, the patrons, without whom we would have no show! Thank you for your generous support of Alfresco and helping to foster creativity and the arts in our community!
