Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Rep Stage - Horowitz Center
10901 Little Patuxent Parkway Columbia

The road to revenge leads Sweeney Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up for more. "Sweeney Todd" sparkles with brilliant wit, diabolical humor, and extraordinary music. Sondheim's score features such memorable song as "The Worst Pies in London," "Pretty Women," "Not While I'm Around," and "Johanna."

"...This professional production of Sweeney Todd is worth seeing. If this is your first view of the Sondheim musical, you are in for a visual treat. If you have previously seen it, this interpretation will add another dimension to your understanding."

"...Jones supplies a sardonic sweetness that nicely counters the hissing bitterness enacted by V. Savoy McIlwain in the title role. Sweeney Todd, of course, has much to be bitter about, since he lost his wife and child when he was sent away to prison by the corrupt Judge Turpin (Nigel Reed). Hellbent on having his revenge against Turpin and his toady, The Beadle (Benjamin Lurye), Sweeney nevertheless gets sidetracked by other murderous pursuits, as he and Lovett turn his barber shop into a butcher supply for her meat pie pub."

"...Overall, I recommend Rep Stage’s production of “Sweeney Todd” because of director Joseph W. Ritsch‘s edgy vision, the terrific singing voices from the ensemble, and Sondheim’s master score."

"...If you love Sweeney for its large chorus or more dynamic staging, wait awhile. But if you love Sondheim’s soaring score, delicious lyrics and Hugh Wheeler’s sordid tale of greed and revenge told by an exceptional cast, Rep Stage has you covered."
