Sweeney Todd
Stephen Sondheim's dark musical thriller at Short North Stage.
Sweeney Todd is Stephen Sondheim's darkly comic musical about a vengeful barber in Victorian London. This is a sophisticated, adult-oriented production with themes of murder, revenge, and moral corruption—it's not a children's show. Expect elaborate staging, complex music, and genuinely unsettling moments. Older teens and adults who appreciate theatrical storytelling will find it gripping, but younger children won't connect with the story and may find it disturbing.
