Acrosstown Repertory Theatre presents “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”
Press release from Acrosstown Repertory Theatre
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – In this infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth-century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up… and the carnage has only just begun!
Sweeney Todd arrives Friday, October 13, and runs until Sunday, October 29; showtimes are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. at the Acrosstown Repertory Theatre (3501 SW 2nd Ave, Suite O, Gainesville, FL, 32607, in Creekside Mall). A $5 Preview will be held on Thursday, October 12, at 8:00 p.m.
Tickets are $25 for the general public with a $5 discount for seniors (55+), students, teachers, first responders, veterans and active military.
Right down my alley! Looking forward to the performance!
