The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
A Musical Thriller
Book by Hugh Wheeler
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
From an Adaptation by Christopher Bond
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
August 8, 9, 10 8:00 p.m.
August 11 2:00 p.m.
In this musical thriller, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler create a chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous barberism and culinary crime. The play relates the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him. Sophisticated, macabre and uncompromising, Sweeney Todd nevertheless has a great sense of fun mixed with intense drama and dark humor. Mr. Todd’s thirst for revenge expands to include a few of his unfortunate customers while Mrs. Lovett, the proprietress of the pie shop downstairs, has the people of London lining up to taste her mysterious new meat pies! The production is a collaboration between members of Center Stage Productions and the Delaware County Symphony’s Chamber members.
ADMISSION: General $15; College students w/ID $12; Students under 18 years $12; Seniors $12
