Sweeney Todd is considered by many to be one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) musicals of all time. It is a tale of love, injustice, revenge, power, greed, humanity, and forgiveness. It tells a story filled with chilling and memorable characters accompanied by one of the most iconic scores ever created for the musical theatre stage. With principal and ensemble characters alike featured in solos, duets, trios, and small groups, as well as a collective whole, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a masterpiece every musical theatre actor would want to have on their resume.   

Note: We seek to be as inclusive as possible and ask gender non-conforming, gender queer, transgender, non-binary, and all races and ethnicities to audition for any role they choose and they will be open for consideration in casting.
