ABOUT THE SHOW:
In this infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up… and the carnage has only just begun! Stephen Sondheim’s and Hugh Wheeler’s thrilling theatrical masterpiece – winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Book, Best Original Score, and Best Musical – has simultaneously shocked, awed, and delighted audiences across the world for decades…and now it comes to Barboursville!
