Jordan Fisher and Gaten Matarazzo hit the red carpet for the official opening of their new Broadway musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Sunday (March 26) in New York City.
The two actors star in the revival as Anthony Hope and Tobias Ragg, respectively.
This is also both of their returns to the Broadway stage after each starring in Dear Evan Hansen, at separate times.
Also in attendance at the Sweeney Todd opening were of course their co-stars Josh Groban, Annaleigh Ashford, Ruthie Ann Miles, Maria Bilbao, Jamie Jackson and Nicholas Christopher, as well as Frozen songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who worked with director Thomas Kail on the new Hulu series Up Here, Lin-Manuel Miranda and wife Vanessa, who worked with Thomas on Hamilton, Victor Garber, Lea Salonga, Chris Olsen, Ben Schwartz and Mean Girls movie musical’s Busy Philipps.
If you didn’t know, Sweeney Todd “tells the tale of a resourceful pie shop owner and a vengeful barber out for blood. After he’s sent away by a corrupt judge, Sweeney returns to London years later seeking his long-lost family, and forms an unlikely partnership with Mrs. Lovett, who serves up pies underneath his former shop. Together, they wreak havoc on Fleet Street and serve up the hottest – and most unsettling – pies in London.”
