SUMMARY:Sweeney Todd
DESCRIPTION:This infamous dark comedic tale\, the winner of a Tony award in the U.S. and Laurence Olivier award in the U.K. when first produced takes place in nineteenth century London. Sweeney Todd\, an unjustly exiled barber\, returns home after fifteen years. He seeks vengeance against a lecherous judge and the spineless beadle who framed him. Helped in his escape from exile by a virtuous but naive sailor\, Anthony Hope\, Sweeney plans to reunite with his wife Lucy and daughter Johanna. He soon reunites with Mrs. Lovett\, whose failing pie shop is in the building where his barbershop used to be. Sweeney’s road to revenge leads him to re-open his barbershop where he attempts to kill the judge\, now Johanna’s guardian. His attack fails and he goes mad\, vowing revenge on not only the judge but all mankind. His revenge comes to fruition when he and Mrs. Lovett decide to add a special but gruesome ingredient to her pies. Sweeney’s thirst for blood and Mrs. Lovett’s inability to keep up with the demand lead to heartbreak\, blackmail\, and destruction beyond their comprehension.\n\nSweeney Todd is recommended for ages 10 and up. The show contains depictions of sexual assault and self-harm. and disturbing imagery\, so it may not be suitable for younger children.\n\nTICKETS
