Description
Carson Valley Community Theatre (CVCT) presents “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” a 1979 musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Hugh Wheeler. It is based on the 1970 play Sweeney Todd by Christopher Bond. The character of Sweeney Todd first appeared in a Victorian penny dreadful titled The String of Pearls. Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to 19th century London, seeking vengeance against the judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett' as luck sharply shifts when Todd' s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!
