Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd, back on Broadway with Tony, Emmy, and Grammy nominee Josh Groban and Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford. See the acclaimed duo on stage through January 14 only — or see Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster when they come to Fleet Street from February 9. Get Sweeney Todd tickets on TodayTix, and witness the Tony-winning revival.
Revenge is a dish best served hot in Sweeney Todd, a deliciously dark story of murder, obsession, and love. Take a seat — but maybe not in the barber’s chair — for Groban’s highly anticipated return to Broadway as a villainous barber, with Ashford as pie shop owner Mrs. Lovett, his devious accomplice in a bloody vengeance plot.
Hear Stephen Sondheim’s beloved score, with tunes like “A Little Priest” and “Johanna,” come alive via a “deliciously lush” (New York Theatre Guide) 26-piece orchestra and the most chilling, thrilling performances this side of Fleet Street. See why the New York Times calls the baked-to-perfection result “ravishingly sung, deeply emotional and strangely hilarious.”
You may have seen the Sweeney Todd movie or past productions, but you’ve never seen the show served up in its full, original glory. Mrs. Lovett may sing about the worst pies in London, but this Tony Award-winning musical promises to be one of the best shows on Broadway, earning eight 2023 Tony nods including Best Musical Revival and acting nominations for Groban and Ashford. The revival ultimately won for its lighting and sound design.

The thriller musical is titled in full Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The show, with a book by Hugh Wheeler and a score by Stephen Sondheim, has appeared on Broadway three times before. The world-premiere production opened in 1979 and won eight Tony Awards out of nine nominations, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Actor and Actress awards for Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury — Sondheim's personal choices to play Todd and Lovett.
The first Broadway revival was in 1989, and the second in 2005. Both were nominated for Best Revival, and their respective stars — Bob Gunton and Beth Fowler, and Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone — all got acting nominations. This revival of Sweeney Todd on Broadway followed in its predecessors' footsteps!
Groban was Tony-nominated for his only other Broadway performance: as Pierre in Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 in 2017. His performance at the 2018 Tony Awards, which he co-hosted with Sara Bareilles, earned him two Emmy nominations, and his 20-plus-year music career got him three Grammy nominations.
Ashford is a Broadway veteran. Her Kinky Boots performance earned her a 2013 Tony nomination, and two years later, her You Can't Take It With You performance snagged her the win.
Attend the tale to see Josh Groban as the title demon barber and Annaleigh Ashford as his conniving culinary sidekick in a bloody revenge plot. Stephen Sondheim's classic, award-winning score comes alive anew in this deliciously dark revival.
