In a barber shop above Mrs. Lovett’s struggling pie shop, Sweeney Todd plots revenge on the lecherous judge who wronged him and his family. In the seedy underbelly of 19th-century London, desperate times lead to diabolical schemes — and strange alliances. With razor-sharp wit and extraordinary songs like “Pretty Women” and “Not While I’m Around,” this Tony Award-winning masterpiece was proclaimed “more fun than a graveyard on the night of the annual skeleton’s ball” by The New York Daily News.
*** WINNER of 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical ***
“The show isn’t just one of the greatest American musicals but several…you get arias so beautiful, and musical scenes so intricately layered, that every possible genre seems to be baked inside.”The New York Times
