Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd! Great show and cast. The meat pies are also excellent. This is an imersive space and the blocking for the play is amazing. I cant say enough about the cast, all of which were fantastic. The night I attended there were several understudies on the roster, and I have trouble imagining that they were not the first choice for these parts. Really great performances by all members especially Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney. All the entertainers had amazing voices. This is definitely worth your time and money.
I saw Sweeney Todd here. It was great! They transformed the theatre into a pie shop. Be sure to get the pie option with your ticket so you can get pie before the show! Great neighborhood, so lots of places to go before and after.
Went here to see Sweeney Todd and ad a blast. The stage was simply but the use of it was masterful. The almost 3 hours was over in a blink. Id recommend seeing this show while its on. ( As a bonus the meat and veggie pies were great!) I cant wait to see what other productions and events Barrow Street has in store.
I saw the Sweeney Todd play here which was PHENOMENAL and hands down one of the best plays I have ever witnessed. They made good use of this theatre by transforming it into a pie shop. It was very intimate and unique but more space would be useful; I felt a bit uncomfortable in my seat and with the constant need to stretch .
Saw the immersive Sweeney Todd here. This isnt really a show review, but its hard to review the theater without the show, because its whats been running there ;) This is a scrappy off-Broadway venue, and if youre reading this to wonder if you should see Sweeney here, then 100% just buy the tickets now. You wont regret it.
We just finished watching a production of Sweeney Todd. I have seen the original Broadway production years ago and I have seen the movie and this small Off Broadway production is comparable to the original cast. These young actors and actresses are utterly amazing, the staging is unique, and I was simply Blown Away. Many of the Renditions of Sondheim songs brought me to tears go see Sweeney Todd
This is more a review of the showing of Sweeney Todd I saw here. The entire space had been transformed into Mrs. Lovetts pie shop. Most of the seats were at long tables so that you could eat meat pies (chicken only!) before the show and on which the performers would sometimes climb onto. The ambiance of the performance space was excellent, as was the play itself.However, I will say the rest of the building is pretty dilapidated, especially the bathrooms, but thats not why youre there.
Had a blast that night when we came for Sweeny Todd! Best musical Ive ever been to!Only thing I found weird is that they didnt let us soak our clothes in water when we spilled wine on them. It would have been a quick and temporary solution.
I saw Sweeny Todd: The demon barber of fleet street. Interesting, very intimate little venue. Had communal seating in the front (downstairs) that was cafeteria style and bench style seating in the back (upstairs). Not exactly comfortable, because there were no arm rest and everyone has to come out for you to come and go. The show was AMAZING but the venue its self is okay.
An excellent performance of Sweeney Todd. Afterwards the actors all came out through the lobby and spoke with the audience members. This production was an amazing feat in this space! Ill never forget it!
I can only speak to my experience with Sweeney Todd but damn was that an incredible show. See it before it closes! Even the cheap seats are great as the theatre is so small.
Went for the meat pies, stayed for the fantastic production of Sweeney Todd. The theater seats were the tables in the pie shop. Super fun! Great show!
Awesome off-broadway venue. Very intimate but known for putting on high quality productions. Very friendly staff. Our seats said obstructed view but we didn’t have any issues at all. Definitely worth checking out if you’ve never been.
The meat pie and mashed were the best part. The show was average. My experience was completely ruined upon entrance as they tried to refuse me entrance b/c I have a service animal. The House Manager was rude, and the Head Manager was even worse. My dog has been to see 78 shows including Hamilton, War Paint, Anastasia, Hello Dolly, In the Heights, Six Degrees of Separation and many many more. I have never been asked for ID after declaring her a service animal. By city ordinance once she is declared verbally any business is required to permit access and they are absolutely NOT allowed to ask for ANY documentation. The Head Manager tried to tell me it was a private entity and they had every right. When you look up the business license, it indicates that it is a public establishment. Shame shame on you for discriminating against people with a disability. They completely ruined this show for me.
Sweeney was great. Amazing seeing Sally Ann Triplett, last time I saw her was as Sue Snell in Carrie (yes, I saw it twice). She was absolutely amazing as Mrs. Lovett!!!
Brilliant theatre, well-run, beautiful acoustics. Sweeney Todd was amazing, would be excited to see any other play at this venue!
Outstanding production of Sweeney Todd! Immersive, intimate and thrilling. A must see! I flew in from Copenhagen to see The show, and it was totally worth it! Hugh Panaro is an absolute beast in stage!
A no-frills off-Broadway house: theres nothing fancy about this venue, its just a functional spot to showcase some real theater. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My only reservation about this place is that if youre in the balcony, it appears the only way to get out is walking in front of the stage-- so if youre seeing a long show, be sure to stop off at the restrooms before the curtain rises!
I recently saw Sweeney Todd here. This was one of the best experience Ive had at a theater very unconventional in a good way. Also the food is to die for!
Saw The Effect which was an amazing show. Seems like some of the greatest off Broadway shows make it here and if you hunt, you can find discount tix online! Building is old school and someone needs to update the slideshow on their lobby TV screen to not look like a school iMovie project, but part of the village charm I suppose. But I care most about what show Im seeing rather than the building. If they are hosting mind blowing shows, 5 stars for me.
Theatre was awesome! I went to Sweeney Todd a few weeks ago and the show as amazing. A MUST see is the beautiful barrow theatre.
We saw Sweeney Todd. The cast was excellent. The seating is insanely uncomfortable. Nevertheless, it was a really cool way to watch Sweeney Todd.
Unique little theatre off Broadway. Staff and cast were great.
A very interesting theatre to say the least. It was amazing to be amongst the actors like you are in this place. I dont know what show they will do here next, but it is a very different experience and worth going to.
A small theater on first floor of a community house in Greenwich Village, convenient to the 7th and 8th Avenue subways, Excellent viewing, excellent staff, cheap tickets often available to Theater Development Fund members. Bathrooms are inconvenient, but thats the only black mark. Saw The Flick there recently -- Pulitzer Prize winning play, well staged, well acted.
Great fun place. Saw Sweeney Todd and had a meat pie. Highly recommend this show and the preshow snack
They claim to be accessible, but (a) the ramp up their main steps takes 5-10 minutes to set up and (b) the ramp is extremely steep and cannot be navigated by a power chair or a manual chair user who isnt on the Olympic team.The theatre itself is okay if you dont use a chair.
Sweeney Todd is one of the best musical I have ever seen. I definitely would go see it over and over.
I liked the Todd Sweeney play more than I expected. Only downside is you can feel the subway go by.
The Barrow Street Theatre is tucked away on Barrow Street. Get yourself a map in order to find it. Or just know that it is next door to LArte Del Gelato. The theater is in good shape and the acoustics are great.
Nice little venue, went for Sweeney Todd which was amazing! Definitely get the pie and mash 😁
A cozy theatre with a lobby not large enough to hold everyone during intermission. As expected, the line for the ladies room at intermission is insufferably interminable.
Awesome show of Sweeney Todd, small and intimate theater for a great live experience
Awesome space saw Sweeney Todd and had pie. If that was the worst pie, I wanna try the best too!
Great, unique immersive Sweeney Todd musical opera production. Highly Recommended.
Sweeney Todd was a great show! A must see before it closes!
I love this theatre. Ive seen so many good shows here and they always have TJ and Dave shows once every couple months.
Consistently houses excellent productions in an intimate environment. Seriously, whoever is in charge of choosing shows to stage here has impeccable taste.
Wonderful intimate theater thats away from the craziness of Broadway and midtown. See Sweeney Todd!
Beautiful Theatre... just watch BLACK LIGHT there and the performance, space & atmosphere was intriguing!!
Quaint theater with a large stage. Good sound and lighting. Seating was inconsistent online and a little uncomfortable. (Folding chairs)
Nice quaint little theatre in an intimate space. No bad seats, innovative sets that are typically immersive.

We loved Sweeney Todd, such a fun experience.
In the last 2 years Ive seen some of the best theater there in my lifetime:Our Town, Mistakes were made, Tribes and TJ & Dave.
Excellent 200 Seat Off-Broadway Theater for intimate shows. Convenient to many excellent restaurants nearby.
Very friendly staff. The venue is small but uniquely interactive. Worth seeing a show here.
What a wonderful time! The show is outstanding and the company is amazing! My daughter and I had a wonderful time.
Comfortable seats. Good visibility even from the back. Free coat check is another big plus.
Perfect downtown theater hosting some of the greatest productions I have ever seen, including TJ and Dave.

The people
A great experience watching the work of Swenney Todd. The work is highly recommended: they have an incredible performance and, although it is not a Broadway production, it is more than enough to enjoy good theater. I suggest taking the dinner experience where the Pay is included. I had the meat pie, soooo delicious.
Chico, so it is comfortable and you can appreciate the work from any location.
Wonderful work ...

2019-03-16Pie and mash served and a terrific show. Interactive theater production, the actors come out into the audience and upon the tables .Wonderful company of actors led by the talented but gracious Thom Sesma playing Sweeney Todd. He chatted with us after the show and took a selfie with my wife, not scary at all in real life but terrifying in the show. We really wish the production was ongoing as wed like to return and bring the family, it was that good.

2018-08-27An incredibly intimate space to see a show. This whole place held about 100 people for Sweeney Todd, and the actors intermingled throughout the show. I felt like I was right there with them in the story and had a great time. Sat in the front row of the balcony and had a great view of everything. I hope to see more shows here in the future.

2018-01-31Went for the showing of Sweeney Todd. It was terrific. Small, intimate setting lets the cast really get up close and personal you into the story. If you go, opt for the package that includes the meal beforehand. The meat pies and mash were genuinely quite good. I suspect there is some bakery nearby that must making them for the shows.they also had a delicious but difficult to identify seasoning to them which only adds to the level of immersion the environment provides.

2018-05-20Attended the Tale of Sweeney Todd & LOVED every second of the show. My first immersion show and it was fantastic. Discussions in progress for a return trip before August. Scenery & stage were captive, as well as the choreography. You won’t regret taking in this performance, at this venue.

2018-07-09We thoroughly enjoyed the immersive experience of seeing Sweeney Todd at the Barrow Street Theater. (The music overwhelmed the actors a bit, but it was still a fun production and the cast was spectacular. The set was amazing, too.) The theater is easy to find, central to many restaurants, and perfectly sized to feel intimate without being too small.

2018-06-24The limited view seating is VERY limited. We loved the show, but would only sit downstairs in the future.
