Warning: This musical might cause mistrust of barbers and the inability
to eat a slice of pie ever again. But, Sweeney
Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is worth the sacrifice.
Vertigo Mystery Theatre is staging the 1970s classic about the 19th
Century barber who returns home 15 years after he was sent away on
trumped up charges. His homecoming to a murdered wife doesnt help his
penchant for revenge. He does what any irrational person would do and
opens a barbershop where no one who enters leaves. It is not a
coincidence that the pies at the shop below start to taste extra
delicious.
Its gruesome. Its hilarious. And, it plays at Vertigo until June 3.
