ArtsWest presents Stephen Sondheim's Tony-winning musical thriller SWEENEY TODD the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Performed by participants in ArtsWest's award-winning Musical Theater Apprenticeship Program, this classic Broadway musical runs July 15-25.

Directed by Christopher Zinovitch and Nick DeSantis with Musical Direction by Jessica Skerritt and Dane Stokinger, SWEENEY TODD is a macabre tale about a London barber, unjustly deported, who returns seeking revenge. The demented Mrs. Lovett is Sweeney's amorous accomplice (and creator of the infamous meat pies), as his diabolical plan brings them ever closer to the judge who destroyed his life and family, and their own bloody fate.

Featuring Daniel Schwait as Sweeney Todd and Lisa Hill as Mrs. Lovett

With: Kip Brookbank, Isaiah Corey, Ryan Floresca, Chelsea Gilpin, Katie Hume, Andrew Leonard, Kyle Mitchell, Elizabeth Nestlerode, and Sarah Uptagrafft

Sponsored in part by: Nucor Steel Seattle and The West Seattle Garden Tour
