Monroe Forum Theatre at El Portal (North Hollywood, CA)
Broadway veteran Douglas Ladnier, dubbed “one of the best-timbred voices on the scene today” by Backstage Magazine, stars with the award-winning Alison England in this intimate, chamber production of Sweeney Todd at NoHo’s El Portal Theatre. Sondheim was at his bloody best when he created his macabre masterpiece about a barbaric barber and the equally dangerous lady baker he befriends. Set in 19th century London, the musical tells the tale of the title character, who, after being banished from his city on false charges, returns to exact his revenge. A smash hit in 1979, this darkly comic show won eight Tony Awards in its original Broadway run and was turned into a successful movie musical starring Johnny Depp.
