Now running at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, Sweeney Todd is the recipient of eight Tony Award nominations including Best Revival of a Musical, as well as performance nominations for Annaleigh Ashford (Mrs. Lovett), Josh Groban (Sweeney Todd), and Ruthie Ann Miles (Beggar Woman).

Sweeney Todd features music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler, from an adaptation by Christopher Bond. 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.
