Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

Why see Sweeney Todd?

Sondheim's masterpiece is revived in an innovative production originally staged in London in 2004.  Tony Award-winners Patti LuPone (Evita, Anything Goes) and Michael Cerveris (Tommy, Assassins) co-star in one of the most anticipated events of the theater season.

When it premiered in 1979, Sweeney Todd won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. Now, London's "triumphant new production of Stephen Sondheim's musical masterpiece" (London Independent) comes to Broadway. Innovative, intimate and ingenious, this Sweeney "packs a knockout punch" (Daily Telegraph).

The legendary barber, hell-bent on revenge, takes up with his enterprising neighbor in a delicious plot to slice their way through London's upper crust. Justice will be served - along with lush melody, audacious humor and bloody good thrills.

Run to this Barber Shop Pronto!

Brilliant immersive and thrilling experience from start to finish. Chew on this timeless score and savor every bite! We loved the table seats right in the center of the action. And grab the best wings in NYC after at the Barrow Street Ale House (after the must eat pre dinner pies!) ... Read more

Nice staging

I liked the staging, itself, although there a few blocking issues for the first few rows of audience members. Although Groban has the vocal chops for the role,, however, I didn't find his performance compelling. He seems to lack range as an actor and certainly didn't often convey the depth of this character, just a bit of bewilderedness and sadness. That can't be sad for the other actors, who were stupenduous. ... Read more
