Sweeney Todd / 2011

Stephen Sondheim’s musical follows Benjamin Barker, wrongly exiled from London and returning years later as Sweeney Todd, a barber set on revenge against the judge who destroyed his life.

Working with his landlady Mrs. Lovett, Todd turns his need for vengeance into a grim business — a knife at the throat upstairs, meat pies downstairs — as his cuts widen from one enemy to anyone unlucky enough to sit in his chair.

Directed by Mick Gordon, this production premiered at Aarhus Teater in Denmark in 2011, starring Flemming Enevold as Sweeney Todd and Lotte Andersen as Mrs. Lovett.
