Stephen Sondheim’s dark and comic musical Sweeney Todd is a wonderfully macabre and hilariously gruesome story of betrayal, love and bloody revenge.

Sweeney Todd returns home to London having been wrongly deported and robbed of his family by the crooked Judge Turpin. Reunited with his beloved razor, and accompanied by the love-struck pie shop owner Mrs Lovett, he sets about cooking up his own delicious revenge on society. Sweeney embarks upon a murderous campaign to right the wrongs he has endured, re-opening his Fleet Street barber shop and slitting the throats of his customers before they are turned into London’s tastiest pies by Mrs Lovett
