Sweeney Todd:
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

June 5 – July 5, 2026

A musical thriller.

Winner of 8 Tony Awards (including Best Musical), the musical thriller Sweeney Todd is Sondheim at his best! In a historic partnership, Hartford Stage and TheaterWorks Hartford are joining forces to produce a powerfully intimate chamber production of this theatrical masterpiece.

TWH Artistic Director Rob Ruggiero will direct this chilling tale of love, murder and revenge at Hartford Stage. Set in the dark corners of 19th Century London, Sweeney Todd soars with an unforgettable score, razor-sharp wit, and heart-pounding theatricality. This story of “the demon barber of Fleet Street” promises to thrill and delight Hartford audiences.

Critics interested in reviewing Sweeney Todd should email Jennifer Levine at jlevine@hartfordstage.org.

Press weekend is Friday, June 12 through Sunday, June 14.
