Schmooze Productions Presents
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Nanaimo Centre Stage, 25 Victoria Road. Doors open at 7:30 pm, show starts at 8:00 pm
Schmooze Productions proudly presents the story of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which first appeared in the 1830s in England and was soon adapted for the London stage. When Stephen Sondheim, the celebrated producer of hit Broadway musicals, saw a version of the play in London in the mid 1970s, he asked Hugh Wheeler to collaborate with him on a musical adaptation. When the new Sweeney Todd opened on Broadway in 1979, it became an instant hit and later walked away with that year?s Tony award?Broadway?s highest honor.
The public was shocked but thoroughly entertained by the gruesome storyline of this musical thriller, which focuses on the murderous machinations of a vengeful English barber and his accommodating landlady. The play follows the barber, Sweeney Todd, as he plots his revenge against Judge Turpin, who sent him to prison on false charges?an act which causes the destruction of Sweeney?s family. As Sweeney?s revenge plot accidentally broadens to include other citizens of the corrupt society of Victorian London, his landlady, Mrs. Lovett, finds a way to cover up the barber?s crimes as well as her own. Through this darkly comic story, Wheeler explores the motivations for, and consequences of, revenge.
