Sweeney Todd at Chance Theater

Sweeney Todd

Chance Theater
5552 E La Palma Ave Anaheim

In a barber shop above Mrs. Lovett's struggling pie shop, Sweeney Todd plots revenge on the lecherous judge who wronged him and his family. In the seedy underbelly of 19th-century London, desperate times lead to diabolical schemes - and strange alliances. With razor-sharp wit and extraordinary songs like "Pretty Women" and "Not While I'm Around," this Tony Award-winning masterpiece was proclaimed "more fun than a graveyard on the night of the annual skeleton's ball" by The New York Daily News.

"...Late 18th-century London is a living nightmare in Chance Theater’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and while the scaled-down revival’s pitch-black tone and bare-minimum number of players do not make it the best introduction to this Stephen Sondheim classic, there’s still a lot for Sondheim aficionados to applaud."

"...This staging features a tight cast of nine, so each character outside of Todd and Lovett additionally serves in the ensemble of versatile Victorian spirits. Despite its smaller size, the Chance production competes well with the production at A Noise Within earlier this spring. Winston Peacock is a superior Sweeney, although his vocals are occasionally plagued by nasality and slightly rocky breath support. Jocelyn A. Brown's Mrs. Lovett presents a standout cockney accent and skillful octave displacement. Abel Miramontes' Beadle Bamford is slightly mad and quite enjoyable. Emmanuel Madera as Adolfo Pirelli and Adam Leiva as Tobias offer unexpected vocal highlights."

The Orange Curtain Review - Highly Recommended

"...This is a 2-hour and 45-minute production, and the hours float away. There is not a dull moment in the show, thanks to the excellent pacing and creative movement. Using a dolly to communicate a ship coming into port is brilliant. It's jam-packed with so many significant creative design decisions. To top it off, this cast that didn't hit a wrong note. This ensemble moves in a unique and physically taxing way thanks to acrobatic choreography from Mo Goodfellow."
