Popular Musical 'Sweeney Todd' Concludes its Run at Oakton

How about a shave? Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street ends its run this week in the intimate setting of Oakton’s Studio One. Final performances are scheduled November 21 – 24, at the black box theater that holds just 60 patrons located at 1600 East Golf Road, Des Plaines.

After a decade of wrongful imprisonment, the anti-hero Sweeney Todd thirsts for revenge over the men who rigged his conviction and destroyed his family in 19th-century London. With the help of his sinister landlady Mrs. Lovett, he embarks on a bloody, malevolent campaign. This story of vengeance and culinary horror is not for the faint of heart!


Final performances are scheduled:

* Thursday, November 21, at 8 p.m.
* Friday, November 22, at 8 p.m.
* Saturday, November 23, at 8 p.m.
* Sunday, November 24, at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for general admission; $8 for students and seniors; and $6 for groups of 15 or more. Call (847) 635-1900 to purchase.
