Welcome to Sweeney Todd, Stephen Sondheim's dark and powerful exploration of vengeance, obsession, and morality.
This is a story about a man consumed by grief and revenge, and the way his quest for justice leads him down a path of destruction. As we bring this chilling tale to life, we focus on the emotional complexity of the characters—not just as victims or villains, but as people trapped by circumstance in a brutal world.
Through Sondheim’s masterful music and lyrics, we aim to show how Sweeney’s thirst for vengeance pulls everyone around him into darkness, including Mrs. Lovett, Tobias, and Johanna. In a society where survival often requires sacrifice, we invite you to reflect on the way this story resonates with our own time—where the pursuit of power, justice, and identity can blur moral lines.
Thank you for joining us on this thrilling, unsettling journey. We hope it leaves you questioning where the boundaries between right and wrong truly lie.
