Winner of eight Tonys including Best Musical, Sweeney Todd has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world.
Director Hank Fitzgerald said this musical is his favorite of all time.
“If you haven’t seen Sweeney Todd before, you should expect to be on the edge of your seat,” said Fitzgerald. “This thriller has beautiful music, haunting lyrics and is a cutting-edge masterpiece that is vocally very challenging.”
Wayne Theatre Executive Director Tracy Straight said the theatre is excited to have Sweeney Todd on the stage as it is Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway masterpiece.
“Sweeney Todd is a story about love, obsession and revenge,” she said. “The music is challenging, the technical aspects are difficult, and we have an amazing cast and crew ready to bring this musical to life.”
