NH Unscripted with The Village Players

One of the most popular Stephen Sondheim musicals, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", will be hitting the stage of The Village Players of Wolfeboro for two weekends beginning (quite appropriately) October 31st. And we at WKXL's NH Unscripted just happen to get the director Paul Stewart (yes I get his name wrong during our interview! Sue me.) and several of the cast members to break down the progress of this tremendous show. Andrew Gibson (Sweeney himself), Erin Balestrieri (Mrs. Lovett), Louis Laurendeau (Anthony Hope) and Janice Knepp (Ensemble member) give us all the details. Synopsis for those who aren’t familiar with it: “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” is a dark musical about a barber named Sweeney Todd who returns to London after being wrongfully imprisoned. He seeks revenge on the corrupt Judge Turpin, who framed him, and teams up with Mrs. Lovett, who runs a failing pie shop, leading to a series of gruesome events as Todd’s thirst for vengeance escalates.”
