“The result is a full-throated triumph of theatrical imagination, performed with such musical sophistication and such gloriously unbuttoned abandon that even the most outrageous material acquires the peculiar dignity of art.” By Tony Marinelli, Oct 27

Critics' Take
Critics praise this "gloriously filthy" drag-opera mashup for its outrageous camp and vocal prowess, though some question the irreverent Sondheim treatment. The deranged Halloween spectacle delivers debauched mayhem with style.

“Heartbeat Opera’s dragged-out reimagining of the Sondheim classic is a slice and dice and full-out slay.” By Alex Simmons, Oct 28
“In this hysterically funny send-up of ‘Sweeney Todd,’ the title character here is an insatiable submissive queer who gets ticked off one night when he has lined up a troop of tops on Grindr to service him — and then gets stood up by all of them!” By Robert Hofler, Oct 24
