Sweeney Todd
Sweeney Todd at Short North Stage - Garden Theater
Sweeney Todd is Stephen Sondheim's darkly comic musical masterpiece about a wronged barber in Victorian London who seeks revenge through his razor. This is a sophisticated adult drama with mature themes, complex music, and psychological depth—not a light or cheerful show. Families considering this should know it contains violence (stylized but present), murder, and morally ambiguous characters. It's a theatrical experience best suited for older teens and adults who appreciate intricate storytelling and aren't looking for family-friendly entertainment.
