Sweeney Todd
Classic musical thriller about a vengeful barber at Short North Stage.
Sweeney Todd is Stephen Sondheim's darkly theatrical musical about a wronged barber in Victorian London who seeks revenge through sinister means. This is a sophisticated, intense show featuring complex music, mature themes, and stylized violence—not a light family outing. Expect moody atmosphere, psychological drama, and artistic staging rather than comedy or romance. It's best suited for older teens and adults who appreciate challenging musical theater and can handle darker storytelling.
