MUSICAL THRILLER "SWEENEY TODD" OPENS MARCH 8, 2024
"Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd", an unjustly exiled barber, formerly known as Benjamin Barker, who returns to nineteenth century London, seeking revenge against the judge who framed him many years ago. Renaming himself Sweeney Todd, the now-mad man vows revenge against all who wronged him, applying his razor to unlucky customers and shuttling the bodies down to Mrs. Lovett’s pie shop to supply the pies with cheap, fresh meat. Though many unfortunate souls fall to his blade, Todd will not find satisfaction until he slits the judge’s throat and obtains his final revenge.
Palm Canyon Theatre’s production of this dark, gruesome, and ominous musical showcases 25 remarkably talented local performers, including Paul Grant as Sweeney Todd himself, Se Layne as Mrs. Lovett, Donald Kelley as Judge Turpin, Marcello Tulipano as Beadle, Christian Quevedo as Anthony, Nicole Kennedy as Johanna, Joshua Rach as Tobias, Linda Mack as the Beggar Woman, and many others. It is a triumphant, must-see production. Funny, scary, and disarmingly moving. An unforgettable tale of revenge and love.
Sweeney Todd is Directed and Choreographed by Derik Shopinski, with Music Direction by Steven Smith. Set and Lighting Design is by JW Layne with Projections by Nick Edwards. Sweeney Todd features a score by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler
