The Geauga Lyric Theater Guild Presents Sweeney Todd
Oct 21, 2016 - Nov 6, 2016
$18.00
Attend this dark and witty tale of love, London, murder and revenge.
An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to 19th century London seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. 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, and the carnage has only just begun!
“The incidents in the plot may be lurid, but the show’s themes are primarily injustice, morality and greed. More important, it’s a wonderful, scary story — what Sweeney Todd is really about is having a good time.” – Stephen Sondheim”
