A sweeping tale of romance, vengeance, and murder, Sweeney Todd is an extraordinary musical based on the 19th century legend of a half-mad English barber. Escaping from unjust imprisonment, Sweeney returns home to exact a peculiar revenge on his customers with the help of his enterprising accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, whose meat pies are suddenly the tastiest in London. Winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Sweeney Todd is a grand musical of comedy and thrills with a riveting and melodic score by Stephen Sondheim, one of musical theatre's most brilliant composer/lyricists.
