Broadway's darlings, Aaron Tveit (37) and Sutton Foster (45), are taking their talents to Fleet Street! The two are set to star in the revival of the Broadway classic 'Sweeney Todd' as the "Demon Barber" and his partner-in-crime, "Mrs. Lovett".

Taking Over the Stage

The dynamic duo will begin performances on February 9, 2024, and will grace the stage for 12 weeks, concluding their run on May 5. They're stepping into the shoes of Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford, who received Tony nominations for their performances and will take their final bows on January 14.

Hot news!

Directed by Thomas Kail of 'Hamilton' fame, the latest revival of Stephen Sondheim's eerie musical has been a hit. It's been packing the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre since its opening in 2023, winning two Tony Awards and regularly playing to full houses.

'Sweeney Todd' spins a chilling tale of a vengeful barber and a cunning pie shop owner. After being wronged by a corrupt judge, "Sweeney Todd" returns to London, forming an unlikely alliance with "Mrs. Lovett". The show, which first opened on Broadway in 1979, was later adapted into a 2007 film directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp.

Tveit and Foster's Broadway Journey

Tveit, fresh off his Tony-winning performance in 'Moulin Rouge: The Musical,' has a rich Broadway history, including roles in 'Catch Me If You Can,' 'Next to Normal,' 'Wicked,' and 'Hairspray.' He's also made a splash on the big and small screen, with appearances in 'Schmigadoon,' 'Grease: Live,' 'Les Miserables' and 'Gossip Girl.'
