Performances run October 17–19 and October 24–26, with a special “Characters and Cocktails” preview event on October 16. “Characters and Cocktails” features behind-the-scenes access, food, drinks, a costume contest, and a chance to mingle with the cast.

Set in 1800s London, the story follows Sweeney Todd, a barber unjustly banished from his home, who returns seeking revenge, only to become consumed by it. Actor Luke Digilormo says, “The production explores how revenge can twist someone until they think they’re the hero of their own story.”

The musical, written by the legendary Stephen Sondheim, promises haunting melodies and thought-provoking themes that fit perfectly with the Halloween season. “It makes you question how anyone could be driven to the point of becoming a monster,” said actor Nathan Gay.
