Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh Wheeler from an adaptation by Christopher Bond

Buy Tickets: Feb 6 - Feb 16

“Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd . . .”
In the nearly half-century since Stephen Sondheim’s adaptation of a delectably lurid nineteenth-century melodrama premiered on Broadway, it has become a modern classic. The title character is perhaps the most frightening and complex anti-hero in musical theatre, a barber whose fury and despair over the loss of his innocent wife to a pitiless predator turns him into a serial killer with a witty and imaginative partner in crime, his landlady, Mrs. Lovett. Containing his most ambitious and challenging music, Sweeney Todd is a fitting tribute to the great composer-lyricist who died in 2021.
Directed by Meaghan Deiter, whose recent productions at the College include Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! and Sondheim’s Company.
