ABOUT: Accused of a crime he didn't commit, Benjamin Barker, a London Barber, is sent to Australia by the evil Judge Turpin. Now serving a dark and vengeful god, he returns to London 15 years later and goes by the name Sweeney Todd. Upon learning of the death of his wife amongst other updates while he was away, Sweeney takes it upon himself to seek revenge. Befriending a lonely crazed woman, he enlists Mrs. Lovett’s help to apply his razor to unlucky customers while Mrs. Lovett prepares their corpses for her meat-pie shop, but he won’t be satisfied until his razor finally falls on Turpin. Swing your razor high, Sweeney – closing the Playhouse on the Square season in a joint effort with our friends at Opera Memphis.

Sweeney Todd is in full swing and getting ready to open in less than 10 days! Blood work has been incorporated, and the cast is exploring their darker sides... Don’t believe us? Come see the show!
