Sweeney Todd, a barber unjustly exiled from his home and family, returns to London seeking retribution against the unscrupulous judge who framed him. The road to vengeance leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, the ingeniously enterprising proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new practice and proceeds to slice his way through London’s upper crust.
Generally regarded as Stephen Sondheim’s most beautiful and ingeniously crafted score, this multiple-Tony Award winning musical thriller explores love, loss and revenge with brilliant wit, diabolical humor and astonishing music.
