Information

Barber Sweeney Todd returns to Victorian London after years of exile. He seeks revenge on Judge Turpin, who once unjustly condemned him, abused his wife and kidnapped his daughter. Sweeney finds the perfect business partner in the chronically unsuccessful pâtissier Mrs. Lovett, through whose store he opens a barber's store. His unquenchable thirst for blood provides her with such tasty fillings for her meat pies that people are soon queuing up in Fleet Street. Mrs. Lovett is happy, while Sweeney's business success and Lovett's affection leave him cold - he is interested in nothing other than completing his revenge plan.

The world premiere of Sweeney Todd in 1979 won eight Tony Awards (including Best Musical). Since then, the musical thriller, which is as nerve-wracking as it is stunningly funny, has achieved classic status and has been the most successful play by Stephen Sondheim, who died in 2021, at the latest since Tim Burton's film adaptation with Johnny Depp.
