Sweeney Todd has been an extraordinary creative and personal experience for all those involved with the DCPA Theatre Company’s acclaimed production, which closes Sunday (May 15).

And, clearly, a lot of fun.

Robert Petkoff, who plays the titular role, has been chronicling his experience in Denver from the first rehearsal, and today he shares his backstage photos with DCPA NewsCenter readers and Theatre Company audiences. All photos by Robert Petkoff.
