'Sweeney Todd' Brings its Spine-Tingling Horror to Oakton
You’ll never think of barbers and meat pies the same way after attending a performance of the chilling musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Thursday November 14 – 17, and November 21 – 24, at Oakton’s Studio One, 1600 East Golf Road, Des Plaines.
After a decade of wrongful imprisonment, 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!
On Saturday, November 16, at 8 p.m., the Oakton Educational Foundation will sponsor a special performance to benefit the Performing Arts Scholarship Fund. Tickets are $20 and include a reception after the show.
