“Revenge is a dish best served… in a meat pie.”
Hot on the heels of Legally Blonde’s wildly popular summer run, the Athens Theatre stage in DeLand trades high heels for straight razors. This fall, darkness descends as the Athens journeys across the pond to Victorian London for Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street—a chilling British musical brimming with revenge, razors, and meat pies best not questioned.
The shadows are stirring. The chair is ready. And the Demon Barber is sharpening his blade... Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street will be performed at the Athens Theatre from September 19 - October 12.
