From the Creative team that brought you RENT, Songs for a New World and Beauty and the Beast. The Comox Valley Youth Music Centre mounts it’s most ambitions production yet with a retelling of Stephen’s Sondheim’s Macabre, Tony Award winning musical thriller, and the Comox Valley premier of ‘Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”
Based on legends that may (or may not) be true, Sweeney Todd serves up tasty feast of diabolical fun!
SWEENEY TODD opened on Broadway in 1979 starring Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou and went on to win eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. Stephen Sondheim composed the razor-sharp score and his brilliant lyrics are alternately gleeful and gruesome. A thriller set in Victorian England, SWEENEY TODD tells the tale of a man just released from jail for a crime he did not commit. “The Demon Barber of Fleet Street’ cooks up a hilariously macabre revenge scheme resulting in the crafty, comedic and captivating thriller. Song include: ‘Pretty Woman’ the haunting and melodic “Not While I’m Around” as well as the deliciously funny “A Little Priest.”

Sweeney Todd is hilariously good fun, but features some very dark humour however the play is much lighter than the recent movie.
