Event Summary
World Premiere!
Sweeney! Demon Barber of Cripple Creek
by Chris Sorensen
Taking inspiration from the story of Sweeney Todd, this brand new, spooky melodrama is set in Cripple Creek during the gold rush. Returning to the town that betrayed him after his escapes from Colorado State Penitentiary, Sweeney Todd finds things are no longer the same as when he left. His wife is dead and his daughter Johanna was raised by the very man who imprisoned him, Sheriff Thornton. Once Thornton’s plans to marry off Johanna to clear his debts come to light, Sweeney teams up with Mrs. Loveland of Loveland’s Tavern where an accidental kill turns into a lethal partnership, hiding dead bodies in vats of chili, while Sweeney pursues his final revenge against Thornton. Darkly funny with twists and songs galore, Sweeney! Proves that in Cripple Creek, justice, like chili, is best served hot.
