Reviews of Sweeney Todd (2024)

Local Reviews

"It is no exaggeration to say that from the ensemble to the demon barber himself, every single actor in this production is a master of their craft." - PDX Parent

"A successful SWEENEY TODD requires strong singers who can bridge the gap between musical theatre and opera, where this show sits. Here, this production directed by Chip Miller shines." Broadway World

"Portland Center Stage has mounted a strong production... of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, featuring a dream cast that carries off Stephen Sondheim’s operatic vocals with energy and power... This production will thrill audiences and offer the curious plenty of unsettling things to ponder." - Oregon ArtsWatch

"This world is an iconic one, but under Miller’s direction, it takes on new and important meaning to meet this moment in time." - Willamette Week

"Excellent performers, visionary direction, hugely entertaining; artful, smart, funny, great."

"I brought my daughter, we absolutely loved it. Completely incredible performance from beginning to end."

"The set, the lighting, and the costumes acted as another character in the show - the singing and acting were SO. GOOD. and the full performance was amazing. Even better: we happened to hear the pre-show Q&A and that made our experience even richer."
