SWEENEY TODD
Come hear the tale of Sweeney Todd!
An indisputable masterpiece by America’s greatest living Broadway composer and lyricist, Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd is a heart-pounding thriller set on the seedy side streets of 19th century London. Filled with diabolical humor and extraordinary music, this eight-time Tony Award-winning musical tells the tale of an exiled barber’s quest to avenge the wrongs done to him and his family by a lecherous judge. Featuring a brilliant score that includes “Pretty Women,” “A Little Priest,” and “Not While I’m Around,” Sweeney Todd is a beautiful, soaring black comedy filled with stunning terror that will leave you gasping! |

WICKED
WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin-smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one "good," and the other one "wicked."
From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED-the untold true story of the Witches of Oz-transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is "a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think." |
