A spokesperson says---
"...QUEENEY TODD is a wild, brand-new story that takes the iconic Sweeney Todd as a starting point, but then spirals into a debauched mash-up of opera and musical theater...
The production follows Queeney Todd's dramatic return to London after a decade away, hellbent on settling the score with lovers who wronged him in his youth (each and every one...a tenor!). When he teams up with the outrageous Mrs. Lovedick, the scheme erupts as opera’s greatest divas, iconic villains, and notorious heartbreakers collide in a whirlwind of camp, high-fashion couture, showstopping arias, and theatrical carnage—where no one is safe from the barber’s blade...
...This new production seamlessly blends the grand scale of classical opera with the wit and dazzle of modern drag performance..."
