Sweeney Todd: The Musical has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tonys, (including Best Musical), for its Broadway premiere. Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's (A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures) tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world. Extremely popular with opera companies and in concert presentation, Sweeney Todd is equally effective as an intimate chamber musical. Featuring two unforgettable star turns and some of the most chilling music ever written for the stage, this masterpiece is sure both to thrill and delight audiences.

 

Synopsis: An infamous tale, of Benjamin Barker, an unjustly convicted and exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him for the sole purpose to posses and savagely wrong his young wife. Using the alias name of Sweeney Todd, he begins down the road of blind rage and revenge. This dark path quickly leads him to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, Todd opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood and vengeance 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!
