Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street has become a worldwide success since being ordered eight Tony’s, including Best Musical. With Stephen Sondheim's most powerful score, Sweeney Todd is lush, operatic, and full of soaring beauty, pitch black comedy, and stunning terror. It has been called one of the single achievements of the American musical theater of the last fifty years.

 

One of the darkest musicals ever written, it is the unsettling tale of the Victorian-era barber who returns home to London after fifteen years of exile to take revenge on the corrupt judge who ruined his life. When revenge eludes him, Sweeney swears vengeance on the entire human race, murdering as many people as he can.
