at Playhouse on the Square | On stage through July 12
"Accused of a crime he didn't commit, Benjamin Barker, a London Barber, is sent to Australia by the evil Judge Turpin. Now serving a dark and vengeful god, he returns to London 15 years later and now goes by the name Sweeney Todd. Upon learning of the death of his wife, amongst other updates while he was away, Sweeney takes it upon himself to seek revenge."
Checking on the Arts: Executive Producer for Circuit Playhouse, Michael Detroit, and General Director of Opera Memphis, Ned Canty, join Kacky Walton to talk about collaborating on Stephen Sondheim's decidedly operatic and notoriously challenging Tony-winning work.
