The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
The Melodrama of Sweeney Todd
We invite you to take a break from the summer heat and join the University of Minnesota Showboat Players for a chilling tale of revenge, murder and tasty meat pies! The Demon Barber of Feet Street, based on the original 1846 penny dreadful tale by George Dibdin Pitt, is a deliciously murderous melodrama that tells the tale of a barber who seeks revenge for the crimes committed against him by polishing off those who wronged him as they sit in his barber's chair. PETER MOORE and VERN SUTTON, the dynamic duo who in 2008 brought The Count of Monte Cristo to the Showboat Stage, again join forces to bring this tale to life with turn of the (last) century staging and fun-filled Vaudeville-style musical interludes. Come visit us on the Mississippi for a bloody good time! (MAP TO SHOWBOAT)
