Sweeney Todd

In this rarity, a musical thriller, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler have created a chilling masterpiece, a tale of murderous barber-ism and culinary crime. The unjustly exiled Sweeney returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. Soon, his customers are getting more than a close shave, while the resourceful Mrs. Lovett, owner of the downstairs pie shop, is serving up mysterious new meat pies by the dozens. Sweeney Todd blends the macabre and wild dark humor, with a score of epic proportions to serve up a sumptuous and wickedly clever dish.
