Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
2025 Summer Production
Sweeney was the first time BCOS has tackled a Sondheim show - and the membership rose to its many challenges admirably.
With an amazingly accomplished principal cast including (not for the first time) three brand new society members the show left people in awe.
"Made hairs on the back of my arms stand on end", "So professional", and "such pace that I couldn't believe over an hour had passed in the first act!".
