Villagers Theatre presents Stephen Sondheim's classic, "Sweeney Todd."The show runs from February 6 to 22, performing at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for seniors/students.
The rare instance of a musical thriller, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous barber-ism and culinary crime tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. His thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe. Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and uncompromising, "Sweeney Todd" nevertheless mixes intense drama with howlingly funny moments of dark humor.
The show is directed and musically directed by Khy Garner, produced by Pam Luckenbaugh, and features Roger Dornbierer as Sweeney Todd, Ali Gleason and Melissa Loderstedt Timpson as Mrs. Lovett, Ryan Gaynor as Anthony, Cat Tierney as Johanna, Richard Butler as Judge Turpin, Jason Barrameda as Beadle Bamford, Ray Dobrovolsky as Adolfo Pireli, Kevin Albanese as Tobias Ragg, Pam Jorgensen as Beggar Woman, Wesley Loon as Jonas Fogg, and an ensemble featuring Amy Wells, Samantha Vargas, Sharon Underberg, Ariana Fort, Colleen Fritzen, Jessica Musolino, Jillian Hanna, Heather Crawford Jenna Zielinski, Drew Cyburt, Adam Korner, Mark Piltz, Matthew Staley, CJ Carter, Steven Leshchanka, Anthony Competello, and Paolo Abad.
