A film adaptation, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, was released in 2007. The musical was revived on Broadway in 19, and Off-Broadway in 2017, all presenting the work on a smaller scale with dramatically smaller orchestrations. The work has gone on to be regarded by many as one of Sondheim's masterpieces, with its epic, operatic scale letting it be equally at home on the musical theatre stage as it is at the opera house. The original production of Sweeney Todd, which debuted on Broadway in 1979, won eight 1980 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, along with Best Actor and Actress nods for original stars Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury. Signature's production of the Stephen Sondheim-Hugh Wheeler musical takes the stage as another revival, directed by Thomas Kail, continues its now-Tony-nominated run on Broadway, starring Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford. And in Signature’s wonderfully intimate space, the audience itself becomes an extension of this chorus, bearing witness to the horrors caused by corruption, social inequity, and injustice." “Accordingly, the ensemble in Sweeney Todd functions like a Greek chorus. Its emotions, action, music, and call to be witnessed exist at an epic scale,” added director Lapine. " Sweeney Todd is a story told on the scale of Greek tragedy. As we culminate So Many Possibilities: A Season of Sondheim, I look forward to seeing Sarna Lapine, a proven expert at interpreting Sondheim’s work, put her unique mark on this Sondheim classic as we ‘attend the tale’ as only Signature knows how.” "That original production marked the start of our ongoing relationship with the composer whose work would become a staple at Signature. “In 1991, Signature produced its first Sondheim musical, his masterpiece Sweeney Todd," said Signature Artistic Director Matthew Gardiner in an earlier statement. Kerry Epstein is production stage manager, with Joey Blakeley as assistant stage manager. Sarna Lapine is at the helm for the new production, leading a creative team also including choreographer Alison Solomon, music director Jon Kalbfleisch, scenic designer Mikiko Suzuki MacAdams, costume designer Robert Perdziola, lighting designer Jesse Belsky, sound designer Eric Norris, wig designer Anne Nesmith, and fight choreographer Casey Kaleba.
