The Warren Players have announced the cst for its 92nd season opener, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”

The show will be performed October 6-9 at the Struthers Library Theatre.

Director Caitlin Webster and Rachel Harvey, Vocal Director, recently announced the cast, featuring Warren Players veterans and several performers who are new to the Struthers Library Theatre stage: Angela Abreu, Kelsey Angove, Natalie Baxter, Amanda Beil, Hillary Belin, Colette Bonavita, Allan Branthoover, Lilly Branthoover, Brionna Childs, Troy Dinga, Camden Drayer, Colin Drayer, Elias Eastman, Zach Foster, Sydney Johnson, Marika Koch, Abby Koebley, Drake Lawson, Jessica Long, Catherine Hayes Lyon, Titus Miller, Bethany Pascuzzi, Zachary Robertson, Paula Royo, Andrew Stalder and Michael Stenberg.

Sweeney Todd, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler, premiered in 1979 and eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to 19th century London, seeking vengeance against the judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up.

Sweeney Todd performances are 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, Friday, Oct. 7, and Saturday, Oct. 8, followed by a matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9, at Struthers Library Theatre, 302 W. Third Ave., Warren. Performances are rated PG-13.
