  • by Staff

John Iacovelli, professor of theatre and dance at UC Davis, and alum Kent Nicholson are collaborating on the South Coast Repertory Theatre’s upcoming production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s award-winning musical “Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”  Iacovelli is scenic designer and Nicholson is the dark musical’s director. 

Scheduled to run Jan. 19 through Feb. 16, the musical explores the desperate measures a wronged barber and his devious bakeshop-owning landlady resort to in 19th century London.
