ABOUT THE SHOW:
Rated PG-13 (see Parent's Guide Below)
Sweeney Todd has become a worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony Awards (including Best Musical), for its Broadway premiere in 1977. Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world.
An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth-century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!
This special School Edition has been masterfully adapted, working directly with Mr. Sondheim to retain the wit and grand scope of the original work, with a few lyric and key changes to facilitate high school productions and content changes appropriate for high school performers and audiences.
