THE STORY: In 19th century London, master barber Benjamin Barker was arrested and sent into exile on false pretenses. After returning home from the penal colony, he learns that his wife has poisoned herself after being abused by Judge Turpin, the man that sent Barker away. When Barker returns to London years later, he has changed his name to Sweeney Todd, and he vows to take his revenge on the Judge, no matter what the cost. His thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop soon has the people of London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe.
“Sweeney Todd” won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Musical Score in 1979.
