New York City
Benjamin Barker (now known as Sweeney Todd) returns to London after escaping from jail and teams up with the enterprising widow Nellie Lovett to take revenge on all of London. His murderous plot, combined with Mrs. Lovett’s questionable business inspiration, creates a macabre use for his victims. The Victorian horror story of revenge and obsession, highlighted by Stephen Sondheim’s most complex and powerful score, will keep you on the edge of your seat. Whether you find humor in this dark tale or are terrified by the revolting practices of this pair, you will long remember this chilling, Tony award winning masterpiece. Winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and recipient of 9 Tony Award nominations.
