Director Notes
"Everyone does it, if seldom as well."
Although this quote refers to the character of Sweeney Todd, it is equally appropriate when referring to Stephen Sondheim himself. Sweeney Todd is а true masterpiece of the musical theatre. Sweeney Todd is an amЬitious show for even the largest theatre companies to attempt, thus the idea of doing it with students is not only daunting, it's teпifying to а young-ish director still finding his own vemacular. 1 congratulate Sheridan College for their bravery and willingness to
tackle such difficult work. 1 applaud the students and in tum the faculty
for developing such quality and passion in the students. From the
carpentry shop to the prop shop, from wardrobe to stage management,
Sheridan College is producing exceptional talent we will all enjoy
watching for years to come.
