Sweeney Todd

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Hugh Wheeler

“Sweeney Todd, a barber who was unjustly exiled, escapes after fifteen years and returns home, determined to reunite with his wife, and to wreak vengeance upon the lecherous judge and spineless beadle who framed him. Aided by failing pie shop owner Mrs. Lovett, the two devise a murderous scheme that at the same time adds a special but gruesome ingredient to her pies, leading to treacherous results.”
