WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Stephen Sondheim's murderous modern masterpiece returns to City Opera in a razor-sharp production, originally directed by Hal Prince. The show features music & lyrics by Sondheim, with a book by Hugh Wheeler, from an adaptation by Christopher Bond. The production stars Elaine Paige and Mark Delavan.
Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, is out to exact vengeance on the judge who sent him to prison. First he must set up shop, shave a few unlucky customers, and join forces with a local barmaid whose meat pies have mysteriously become the tastiest treats in London.
Hailed as one of the greatest works of musical theater ever written, Sweeney Todd cuts through the air with acerbic wit, heartbreaking melodies, and haunting dissonance.

Are we all agreed that Sweeney Todd is one of the true masterworks of the American musical theater? I hope so -- and it certainly seems so. Highly respected by music and theater critics alike, the magnificent Stephen Sondheim-Hugh Wheeler opus has also proven wildly popular with audiences in frequent performances by opera companies and regional theaters throughout the world. In recent years, it has also become a favorite for concert presentation by symphony orchestras.
It really says something that, like West Side Story -- another immortal musical in which Stephen Sondheim had a hand -- Sweeney continues to receive a great number of productions even though it's an extraordinarily difficult [...]
