About
A Musical Thriller
Attend the tale of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd...
After decades in exile, Sweeney Todd has returned to London in pursuit of vengeance against the corrupt judge who destroyed his family and his life. The road to revenge leads him to Mrs. Lovett, the desperate owner of a failing pie shop. Before long, the two hatch a nightmarish plan to solve both their problems with the help of one very secret ingredient.
Featuring some of the most deliciously chilling music ever written for the stage, this hilarious and shocking musical is brought thrillingly into our modern world of corruption and cruelty.
