Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street – In Concert with the New York Philharmonic

Directed by Lonny Price

With Bryn Terfel, Emma Thompson, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Erin Mackey and Kyle Brenn

In 1846, Anthony Hope sails into London with the mysterious Sweeney Todd, a once-naive barber whose life and marriage was uprooted by a corrupt justice system. Todd confides in Nellie Lovett, the owner of a local meat pie shop, and the two become partners, as Todd swears revenge on those that have wronged him and decides to take up his old profession. (Filmed live at the Lincoln Center with the New York Philharmonic from March 5–8, 2014.)
