Stephen Sondheim’s chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous “barber”-ism and culinary crime 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. Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and uncompromising, Sweeney Todd nevertheless has a great sense of fun, mixing intense drama with hilarious moments of dark humor.
Admission: $12 or Elon ID. Tickets available October 9.
