The Actors Studio of New Jersey Presents: Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

“Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd!” The Actors Studio of New Jersey proudly presents Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece of revenge and dark humor, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, at the historic Dunellen Theatre. Performances run from Friday, October 15th through Sunday, October 25th on select days.

This spine-tingling musical thriller tells the story of Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber who returns to London seeking vengeance against the corrupt judge who destroyed his life — and finds an unexpected partner in crime in the delightfully devious Mrs. Lovett, who soon puts Todd’s “special ingredients” to use in her infamous meat pies. With a rich, haunting score by Stephen Sondheim and a razor-sharp blend of wit and horror, Sweeney Todd stands as one of the greatest achievements in modern musical theatre — chilling, thrilling, and wickedly funny.

Continuing its acclaimed 2026 season at the Dunellen Theatre, The Actors Studio of New Jersey delivers an unforgettable production that captures the intensity, artistry, and dark brilliance of Sondheim’s vision.
