From an Adaptation by Christopher Bond
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick


August 8, 9, 10    Ÿ 8:00 p.m.
August 11 Ÿ    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.

We will serve as a host site for emerging artists from the surrounding area to exhibit a body of artwork. This is an excellent opportunity to share your artistic talent with the University and the greater community. Art exhibits will hang in the University Library and typically run for two months. All works displayed will be in congruence with the mission of Neumann University.
