Branford, CT, August 10, 2025: The Legacy Theatre, for the first time in their 5-year
history, is extending the run of one of their mainstage productions, Sweeney Todd. The
Stephen Sondheim, 8-time Tony Award winning musical will continue its run for an additional
weekend, now concluding the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, August 31st.
The show which opened with a Preview on Thursday, August 7th, followed by the official
opening on Friday, August 8th, has had strong ticket demand since it was first announced.
Audience reaction to those initial performances was very enthusiastic. That response coupled
with an ongoing demand for tickets resulted in Legacy making the decision to add three 7pm
evening performances on Thursday, August 28th, Friday, August 29th, and Saturday, August
30th. Two additional matinees were also added on Saturday, August 3oth and Sunday, August
31st at 2pm.
The Legacy Theatre, celebrating its 5
th Anniversary this season is ending on a high note.
Executive Artistic Director, Keely Baisden Knudsen, commented: “Our final two Mainstage
productions have been met with a great response by the public. In addition to the extension of
Sweeney Todd, we are also seeing excellent ticket sales for our final Mainstage production of
the year, Noises Off, a farcical comedy which will star James Roday Rodriguez, star of TV’s
Psych, along with several other popular actors. Then we will be back with a brand-new holiday
production called Scrooge and Marley, a companion to A Christmas Carol.”
Tickets for the additional performances of Sweeney Todd, Noises Off and Scrooge and Marley
