Vagabond Players Presents SWEENEY TODD Thru 11/7

Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a musical thriller about love and revenge that both horrifies and delights. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Hugh Wheeler. Directed by Eric Potter with Music Direction by Christopher Rose.

 This time the oven door slams. The demon Revenge has taken up residence on Fleet Street and all is not clear. Sondheim's musical, like Ibsen's play, was--and is--sensational. With words and music that plunge us into horror and lift us to the lyrical, we experience the frightening story of love and innocence at the mercy of souls and society gone demonically awry. Tradegy and Comedy combine in a theatrical evening full of contradiction where the purity of a love song can offer at least a glimmer of redemption.

Runs through November 7 at the Vagabond Players, 806 S. Broadway in Fells Point. Show times Fri./Sat. at 8:00 and Sunday at 2:00. Tickets $20,$18 for seniors/students. Special Friday Night Student tickets $15, subject to availability . For reservations go  online www.vagabondplayers.org or call 410-563-9135.
