Sweeney Todd
Stephen Sondheim's dark musical thriller at Short North Stage.
Sweeney Todd is Stephen Sondheim's dark musical masterpiece about a wronged barber in Victorian London who seeks revenge through a sinister twist. This is a sophisticated theatrical production featuring complex music, dramatic storytelling, and themes of justice and obsession. It's a brilliant but intense show—beautifully crafted and emotionally powerful, though not light entertainment. Families should know it contains violence, murder, and mature themes presented in a stylized theatrical context rather than realistic gore.
