Sondheims masterpiece is a savory Victorian melodrama.Returned to London following a wrongful banishment, barber Sweeney Todds thirst for vengeance against the corrupt judge who sent him away leads him on a murderous spree. Aided by his downstairs neighbor, baker Mrs. Lovett, the two concoct an unappetizing scheme as they terrorize the city.Featuring the songs The Worst Pies in London, A Little Priest, Johanna and Not While Im Around, this deliciously dark musical serves horror with a slice of humor.Mr. Sondheim has composed an endlessly inventive, highly expressive score that works indivisibly from his brilliant and abrasive lyrics.
