Sweeney Todd, Music Mountain Theater
Attend the dark, witty and Tony Award-winning tale of love, murder and revenge set against the backdrop of 19th century London. An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun! This production contains depictions of gore and dark themes that may be unsettling for younger or sensitive audiences. Please contact the box office for more details. Click here for more information

Smash Boom Best Live at McCarter
Recommended for ages 6-12 Run Time: 60 miuntes, no intermission Join us at the McCarter Theatre for a live, in-person version of Smash Boom Best, an award winning podcast for kids and families!

Host Molly Bloom moderates a debate between two performers who make their case using facts fueled by jokes, physical comedy, and the occasional song and dance. At the end, the audience votes for the winner and crowns the Smash Boom Best – all while learning how to defend their own opinions and make the strongest arguments for their case.
