Auditions for Summer Advanced Teen Musical Camp:
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler.
An infamous tale, the musical follows the barber, Sweeney Todd, returns to nineteenth century London 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, the musical explores the motivations for, and consequences of, revenge.
