This dark comedy will be playing from Oct. 25 to Nov. 2 at the Lawrence Arts Center, located at 940 New Hampshire Street. The musical, like the successful 2007 movie starring Johnny Depp, tells the story of a vengeful barber who befriends a poor owner of a pie store. The two work together to exact their revenge and start a macabre business selling pies made of human flesh. "The show is a good portrayal of what it's supposed to be, which is a metaphor for life where people are eating people and everything is gritty and gory," said costume designer Steffani Day. "It's excellent to see because it's bloody and it's gross but it's fun." "It's excellent to see because it's bloody and it's gross but it's fun. STEFFANI DAY costume designer "The macabre themes are perfect for the season," said Jill Anderson, who portrays Mrs. Lovett in the production.

According to Averill, it will be just as gory as its predecessors. — Edited by Duncan McHenry "I'm most excited for when we drop bodies down the shoot," Averill said. "I love all the effects, and that's why I embrace it. I'm not generally a big horror fan, but I love the story and the music, so I had to release my inner 13-year-old boy and let the blood flow. There are a lot of great effects, so instead of going to a haunted house, I think students should come see the show." CRYPTOQUIP "The cast's biggest strength is that they're musically strong," Averill said. "But we also have strong actors with good relationships that make you really care about the characters. That's what you need for this show — you really need singers with levels beyond musical theater, but you also need strong actors to make it work well." elements.
