A dark tale riddled with ghoulish humor set in Victorian London, Sweeney Todd returns from exile to seek revenge on the lecherous Judge Turpin, who destroyed what was once a happy life. When Sweeney reunites with the devious Mrs. Lovett, the owner of a failing meat pie shop, they hatch a plan that will help her with her business struggles and satisfy his hunger for revenge.

This production of Sweeney Todd is dedicated to Barney FitzGerald. Barney brought a wealth of experience both on and off the stage to his work here at Chautauqua, in Sarasota and across the country. The loyalty and extraordinary work he inspired as Costume Shop Supervisor beginning in 2009 have been central to our company’s success. The care he took for performers is legendary in the field. Barney’s passing shortly before the start of this season has left a gaping hole in our company, even as his spirit lives on in the costume shop and Norton Hall.
