Tveit won a Tony Award for his originating role in "Moulin Rouge! The Musical" and starred in other projects such as "Next to Normal," "Wicked," "Grease Live!" and most recently AppleTV's "Schmigadoon."

Foster, a two time Tony Award winner, was most recently in the revival of "The Music Man" on Broadway alongside Hugh Jackman and led TV Land's longest-running original series "Younger."

The show, written by Hugh Wheeler with music by Stephen Sondheim, is running for the first time since 1980, and is led by Tony-Award winning director Thomas Kail.

According to the production's officials, Sweeney Todd "tells the tale of a resourceful pie shop owner and a vengeful barber out for blood. After he's sent away by a corrupt judge, Sweeney returns to London years later seeking his long-lost family, and forms an unlikely partnership with Mrs. Lovett, who serves up pies underneath his former shop. Together, they wreak havoc on Fleet Street and serve up the hottest - and most unsettling - pies in London."

More details can be found on the Sweeney Todd website.
