“Stephen Sondheim’s genius for odd meter music flowing like a dark stream of consciousness is something not to take lightly, to say the least. I’m looking forward to another wild, fun journey with Atlantis as they celebrate 20 years,” he added.

Director Bobby Garcia, for his part, said: “Jett was the only person I could imagine for this retelling of ‘Sweeney Todd.’ He has the voice needed to sing this demanding musical theater score, and he has the danger and passion that ‘Sweeney’ needs. We also have a wonderful shorthand at communicating with each other, having worked together for close to 20 years. I can’t wait for audiences to see what he will create.”
