Perseverance Theatre will open “Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street” on Nov. 6. “Sweeney Todd,” which features music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler, runs on the Perseverance Theatre mainstage in Douglas from Nov. 6–Dec. 6.
The action follows Benjamin Barker, who is returning to London bent on revenge after serving time for a crime he did not commit. Armed with a sharp, straight razor, he sets up shop as one of the finest barbers in the city, and calls himself Sweeney Todd.
