⭐ SWEENEY TODD – THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET REVIVAL ANNOUNCED – BIRMINGHAM REP – JULY 2026 ⭐
A major new musical revival of Stephen Sondheim’s SWEENEY TODD – THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET has been announced.
The new revival will be staged by Birmingham Rep as part of their 2026/27 season.
Wrongfully imprisoned for 15 years, Benjamin Barker returns to Victorian London as the mysterious barber, Sweeney Todd. Upon finding out he’s lost everything he ever loved, Sweeney swears revenge and so begins a chilling tale of murder, macabre and Mrs Lovett’s pies!
First performed on Broadway in 1979, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s 12-time Tony Award-winning masterpiece is considered one of the greatest musicals ever written.
A razor-sharp story of retribution, this darkly comic and dramatic musical is a must-see in this new version by Rep artistic director Joe Murphy.
SWEENEY TODD has music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, with a book by Hugh Wheeler, from an adaptation by Christopher Bond.
SWEENEY TODD – THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET will play The Rep, Birmingham, running from 4th July – 9th August 2026
Bloody brilliant! ! !
