originality!” and Time Out New

most addictively delicious dish on
Broadway in years!”
Judy Kaye (Mrs. Lovett) and

joined by Diana DiMarzio (Beggar
Woman), Benjamin Eakeley (The
Beadle), Benjamin Magnuson
(Anthony), Steve McIntyre (Jonas
Fogg), Lauren Molina (Johanna), and
Elisa Winter (Standby for Johanna

Todd.” Also joining the touring

Cahill (Standby for Anthony, Tobias,
The Beadle and Jonas Fogg), David
Garry (Standby for Sweeney Todd,
Judge Turpin and The Beadle) and
Megan Loomis (Standby for Mrs.
Lovett and Beggar Woman).
“Sweeney Todd” is based on the
19th century legend of a London
barber driven to a life of crime after
a malevolent judge takes his wife
and child from him. Sweeney’s
plan for revenge includes a cutthroat
partnership with Mrs. Lovett—an
enterprising businesswoman—who
is soon producing the tastiest meat
pies in London.
Directed and designed by John
Doyle, who won the 2006 Tony,
Drama Desk and Outer Critics
Circle Awards for this production,
“Sweeney Todd” features the music
and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim,
book by Hugh Wheeler from an
adaptation by Christopher Bond
and music supervision and orches
trations by Sarah Travis who won
a 2006 Tony Award for “Sweeney
Todd.” The creative team also
includes lighting designer Richard
Jones, and sound designer Dan
Moses Schreier.
Doyle’s production of “Sweeney
Todd” opened on Broadway in 2005
to universal critical acclaim where it
won the Drama League, Drama Desk
and Outer Critics Circle Awards for
Best Revival of a Musical, and was
awarded a Special Citation by the
New York Drama Critics Circle. It
arrived on Broadway from a high
ly successful London engagement
originally staged by the Watermill
Theatre, which transferred first to
the Trafalgar Studios in London’s
West End in July 2004 to wide
critical acclaim, then to the New
Ambassadors Theatre where it ran
for a limited engagement that closed
on February 5, 2005.
The original production of
“Sweeney Todd” opened on
Broadway at the Uris Theatre (now
the Gershwin) on March 1, 1979,
in a production directed by Harold
Prince. The musical won eight
1979 Tony Awards including Best
Musical of the Year and ran for 557
performances.
