The winner of nine Tony awards including "Best Musical," SWEENEY TODD is
the heart-pounding story of an unjustly exiled barber who returns to
19th-century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed
him and tore his family apart. Using his silver razors, his thirst for
blood expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful
proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of London
lining up for her mysterious new meat pie recipe! Sophisticated,
suspenseful and visceral,
SWEENEY TODD mixes intense drama with howlingly funny moments of dark humor.

Widely considered composer Stephen Sondheim's (Into The Woods) masterpiece,
the show includes such memorable songs as "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd,"
"The Worst Pies In London," "Johanna," "Pretty Women" and "Not While I'm
Around." Tim Burton directed the hit movie version starring Johnny Depp.
