Winner of the Tony Award in 1979, "Sweeney Todd" is considered one of Sondheim's masterpieces and has enjoyed recent revivals and a film by Tim Burton starring Johnny Depp.

This hauntingly chilling story explores love, loss and blood-soaked revenge. Returning to London after 15 years in prison, Sweeney seeks vengeance by systematically slicing people's throats with a razor, while Mrs. Lovett disposes of the bodies by baking them into meat pies.

With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler, the show has become a musical theatre staple since its Broadway premiere.

The show features Wes Hopkins as Sweeney Todd; Madison Kaufman as Mrs. Lovett; Alec Hamilton as Anthony Hope; Jess Horton as Johanna Barker; and many others.

Larry Biren and Megan Schweitzer direct.

Charmaine McCool joins the production team this year as a choreographer.
