Sondheim's thriller runs September 24 through October 18 at the Garden Theater. Opening week includes Pay What You Want and a Short North night out built around a 2.5-hour show
Short North Stage opens Sweeney Todd at the Garden Theater on September 24, 2026, with a run through October 18. Stephen Sondheim's score and Hugh Wheeler's book get a full Equity-cast production directed and choreographed by Edward Carignan, rated PG-13 with a runtime around two hours and thirty minutes.
The September 24 performance is listed as Pay What You Want, with opening night September 25 and a regular Thursday through Sunday performance pattern after that. Student rush and limited door deals may be available closer to curtain. The theater sits on North High Street, so dinner in the Short North is an easy add if you leave enough time.
Confirm bag, late-seating, and intermission rules before you go. This is for musical fans who want a darker Sondheim night in a neighborhood room rather than a touring road house.
