Shabazz is ecstatic to return to Theatreworks in Colorado Springs this Fall to play the infamous Sweeney Todd in
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
This is an incredible opportunity, and Shabazz is eternally grateful.
Sweeney Todd follows a barber’s return from fifteen years of wrongful exile. Driven by a singular thirst for vengeance against the man who shattered his life, Todd finds an unlikely, depraved ally in the pie-shop owner Mrs. Lovett. Together, they serve up a chilling new reality for London, one that leaves the city forever changed.
The production runs from September 11th through October 4th.
