The Oshkosh Community Players bring Stephen Sondheim's chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece to the stage. This thrilling musical tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. His thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe!
Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and uncompromising, SWEENEY TODD nevertheless has a great sense of fun, mixing intense drama with howlingly funny moments of dark humor: audiences find themselves laughing hysterically one moment and gasping in surprise the next.
At the show's core is a challenging score of epic proportion. Winner of the 1979 Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Actor (Len Cariou), Best Actress (Angela Lansbury), as well as Best Director, Best Scene Design, and Best Costume Design-- this production inspired the 2007 film version starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.
Parental Guidance suggested for stage violence.
