Sweeney Todd opened on Broadway in 1979 and in the West End in 1980 to great acclaim. The winner of both the Tony Award and the Olivier Award for Best Musical, the show has become a classic of musical theatre and one of Stephen Sondheim’s most produced works. Recognized as highly innovative, Sweeney Todd is the thrilling tale of a Victorian-era barber who returns home to London after fifteen years of exile to take revenge on the corrupt judge who ruined his life. Critics often refer to the music as Sondheim’s most perfect score—lush, operatic, and full of soaring beauty, dark comedy, and stunning theatricality.
