Sarah Anne Sillers ‘13 (an alumna of the Princeton Triangle Club and the Princeton Roaring 20) performs in the ensemble of Stephen Sondheim’s musical thriller, Sweeney Todd, now playing at the Tony-winning Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA through July 9.
Returned to London following a wrongful banishment, barber Sweeney Todd’s thirst for vengeance against the corrupt judge who sent him away leads him on a murderous spree. Aided by his downstairs neighbor, baker Mrs. Lovett, the two concoct an unappetizing scheme as they terrorize the city.
Featuring the songs “The Worst Pies in London,” “A Little Priest,” “Johanna” and “Not While I’m Around,” this deliciously dark musical serves horror with a slice of humor.
“Mr. Sondheim has composed an endlessly inventive, highly expressive score that works indivisibly from his brilliant and abrasive lyrics.”
