Driven by the music of the incomparable Stephen Sondheim, Sweeney Todd won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. This deliciously dark musical serves horror with a slice of humor.
Sweeney Todd is the bloody and macabre Victorian tale of a barber who returns to London after a wrongful imprisonment, bent on revenge for the rape and death of his wife. He resumes his trade while forming a sinister partnership with the crazed Mrs. Lovett, a proprietress of a failing pie shop. Mrs. Lovett's luck changes when Todd's thirst for blood inspires adding a new ingredient to her pies.
This production contains theatrical blood, gore, and depictions of violence.
