STORY
of Sweeney Todd
Sweeney Todd has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony's (including Best Musical) for its Broadway premiere in 1979. Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's ("A Little Night Music") tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed, and delighted audiences across the world.
An infamous tale that originally appeared as a penny dreadful serial in 1867, "Sweeney Todd" follows an unjustly exiled barber (Todd) as he returns to nineteenth-century London seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!
