Bernie Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street...'s Brother

Stage 773
1225 W Belmont Ave Chicago

Everybody knows the story of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, who kills his customers and bakes them into pies. But the story of Sweeney's mild-mannered brother, Bernie, who works as a lawyer and doesn't murder or bake anybody, is less well known. Bernie Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street...'s Brother follows Bernie's struggles to keep his business open in spite of his brother's murders and the eccentricities of his business partner: Karl Frankenstein, nephew of legendary mad scientist Victor Frankenstein. See this uproarious parody of Sondheim's musical, featuring an original book and lyrics by Kevin Alves, at Stage 773 in Chicago.
