Royal Exchange Theatre Company, West Yorkshire Playhouse

A new production of Stephen Sondheim’s musical theatre classic.

Packed with Sondheim’s characteristic wit and dark humour, Sweeney Todd is a heart-poundingly entertaining musical thriller about a man driven mad by injustice. Widely acknowledged as Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece, it is a razor sharp tale of vengeance and true love - featuring some of the finest music ever written for the theatre.

This spine-chilling contemporary version will be directed by West Yorkshire Playhouse Artistic Director, James Brining. It will be his first production since joining the WYP and will mark the beginning of a creative partnership with the Royal Exchange.
