Berkeley Playhouse Conservatory Presents Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

A chilling, macabre, yet funny musical thriller that tells the tale of an exiled barber who returns to 19th century London to seek revenge against the judge who framed him. The Barber's thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate barber-shop customers and the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs suddenly has a new meat pie recipe that has all of London clamoring! Soul-pounding, uncompromising, howlingly funny and gaspingly intense - this murderous Sondheim masterpiece is not for the faint of heart!

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim /Book by Hugh Wheeler
