Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

In the smog of Victorian London, a vengeful barber and an ambitious pie-maker turn systemic corruption into a macabre enterprise. More than a thriller, Sweeney Todd is a sharp indictment of a greedy society where the elite feast upon the poor, forcing us to ask: who are the real monsters?

"There are two kinds of men and only two, Mrs. Lovett," the title character observes. "There's the one staying put in his proper place and the one with his foot in the other one's face."

Audiences can expect a night of complex melodies, breathtaking suspense, and the signature magic of live theatre that defines the OBT mission. Experience the dark, witty, and heartbreaking tale of what happens when the marginalized finally decide to fight back.
