– The Monash University Musical Company is thrilled to present Tony Award-winning musical, Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street for their 2008 production. The musical is based on the 19th century fictional character Sweeney Todd, with book by Hugh Wheeler and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
A cruel and bloody comedy tells the story of Sweeney Todd, a Fleet Street barber, who was previously known as Benjamin Barker, who returns from Australia where he has spent fifteen years on false charges. When he learns from Mrs. Lovett (whose meat pies are the worst in London) that his wife poisoned herself after being raped by Judge Turpin (the man who wrongly imprisoned him), and that his daughter is the ward of the same Judge Turpin, he vows revenge.
Sondheim's musical thriller engulfs the imagination and retreats into the darkness, taking the spectator with it. MUMCo invites you to attend the tale of Sweeney Todd as he embarks on his murderous revenge.
MUMCo was founded in 1966 as the Monash University Light Opera Company (MULOC) and is one of the oldest clubs on campus at Monash University. The club mostly consists of current students at the university; however, anyone is welcome to join. We are focused on producing musicals to the highest standard within our means. At the same time, we place great importance on the social aspect of each production and aim to make every MUMCo experience as fun as possible. MUMCo’s production of Sweeney Todd is being directed by Danny Ginsberg and musically directed by Stuart Clarkson.
