This spring we creep down old-time Fleet Street for the tale of demon barber Sweeney Todd. Wrongly imprisoned by a corrupt judge, Sweeney returns from transportation vowing revenge for being taken from his wife and daughter. But when others get in his way - and end up dead - his landlady proposes a plan to safely dispose of them *and* make some money. Anyone care for a pie...?
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Hugh Wheeler, adapted by Christopher Bond, originally directed by Harold Prince.
