Sweeney Todd Slashes His Way to a Stage in Kentucky!

 “One Helluva Show! Thrilling and ferociously inventive.”  - The New York Times

Owensboro, Kentucky’s own, Johnny Depp, helped make Sweeney Todd a phenomenon in movie theaters across the country. But what a lot of people may not realize is that it actually originated on Broadway.

Here’s your chance to see Sweeney Todd in person.  The national tour of John Doyle’s recent Tony Award®-winning Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s SWEENEY TODD, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, will play Louisville’s Kentucky Center from February 12-17, 2008.  Even without the Depp, this is said to be an absolutely mind-blowing show.

The touring production of Doyle’s revolutionary re-imagining of the musical – considered to be Sondheim’s masterpiece – will star Judy Kaye (Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia!) as Mrs. Lovett and David Hess as the demon barber himself, Sweeney Todd.

Tickets go on sale December 14 and can be purchased at the Kentucky Center box office (502-584-7777, 800-775-7777), at any Ticketmaster outlet (502-361-3100) or online at kentuckycenter.org or ticketmaster.com.
