Little Theatre of Alexandria brings Stephen Sondheim's chilling masterpiece of murderous "barber-ism" and culinary crime to the stage. Set in 19th century London, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street recounts the infamous tale of a barber unjustly accused of a crime and exiled from the city. He returns after 15 long years to seek revenge against those who wronged him. Caught up in the greedy schemes of his bloodthirsty landlady, his murderous rage soon expands to include his unfortunate customers. A tale of retribution and obsession, Sweeney Todd serves up deliciously macabre portions of gruesome humor, sinister spite and suspicious meat pies.

I thought it was a great performance. I didn't want to have to travel for the city for good entertainment and I know now that I do not have to. Some cast members were better than others but that can always be said and I absolutely loved the set. They did a great job on such a small stage. I also loved the venue. It was cozy and any seat is a good seat since it is smaller. I will definitely go often.

Jen Lyons Pagnard is a powerful singer and actress that brings Mrs. Lovett to balance Harv Lester's Sweeney. Music is well directed, design and direction is excellent.

Quality of the singers was a bit... uneven (none were bad, just some were good and some were excellent), but all of the principal singers were very good Well worth the money.

The Little Theatre of Alexandria puts on wonderful performances. We enjoyed Sweeney Todd very much - and getting such a great value from gold star made it even more enjoyable. Our tickets were waiting at the box office and we had great seats. I was thinking that we were going to get left over not so great seats but I was wrong. Thank you gold star.

About the Ticket Supplier: Little Theatre of Alexandria

Founded in 1934, the Little Theatre of Alexandria began as a small play-reading group in Old Town Alexandria under the Presidency of Miss Mary Lindsey. Full productions ensued, and in 1939 the group bought a rickety former blacksmith's shop located in Ramsey Alley, between Lee and Fairfax streets, for rehearsal space and construction of sets and costumes. Since 1934, the theatre has mounted over 300 productions.

Today, LTA is the oldest award-winning theater in the Washington metro area and one of only a few community theaters in the country with its own building and an ambitious 7-show season. Proud of their rich heritage, LTA is excited about its future. They may be a little theater, but their expectations are gigantic.
