The original Broadway production of Sweeney Todd was the winner of eight 1980 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Score, and Best Direction for Hal Prince. The musical tells the tale of a resourceful pie shop owner and a vengeful barber out for blood. After he’s sent away by a corrupt judge, Sweeney returns to London years later seeking his long-lost family, and forms an unlikely partnership with Mrs. Lovett, who serves up pies underneath his former shop. Together, they wreak havoc on Fleet Street and serve up the hottest – and most unsettling – pies in London. This current revival at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre is directed by Thomas Kail.

The cast recording features Jonathan Tunick’s 26-player orchestration from the original production. Tony winner Alex Lacamoire serves as the production’s music supervisor. Order the album here.
