Sweeney Todd

The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

A Musical Thriller

Opens February 20th and runs through March 8th, 2026
Fridays and Saturdays 7:00 PM, Sundays 2:00 PM

@ The Hales Center for the Performing Arts
(on the campus of Southwestern Oregon Community College)

In the smog-choked streets of Victorian London, the law doesn’t protect the innocent—it serves the elite. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is more than a chilling thriller; it is a razor-sharp indictment of a corrupt system where those in power feast upon the lower classes.

When a vengeful barber and an ambitious pie-maker join forces, they turn the “dog-eat-dog” reality of their world into a literal, macabre industry. Witness Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece that asks the haunting question: In a society built on greed and exploitation, who are the real monsters?

Experience the dark, witty, and heartbreaking tale of what happens when the marginalized finally decide to bite back.
