“One
common aspect of CCT’s summer musicals is that the maturity of the
company belies its age.
Another commonality is that over the years these shows have been
consistently good …
a staple of CCT’s summer musicals is the sheer melodic power of the
ensemble singing...
visually striking... stunning power. -- Dennis Thompson,
SNP Theatre Critic
SWEENEY TODD
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. Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and
uncompromising, “Sweeney Todd” nevertheless has a great
sense of fun, mixing intense drama with howlingly funny
moments of dark humor: audiences find themselves
laughing hysterically one moment and gasping in surprise
the next.

“CCT'S SWEENEY TODD ...singing is excellent ... an awesome display
of power ... TODD is a triumph of atmosphere."
