Sweeney Todd - March 2007
 |
|
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondhiem; this version of the show was first produced
in New York in 1979 and moved in the following year to Drury Lane, London.
Unanimously acclaimed by the critics as one of Stephen Sondheim's most powerful
scores, this black comedy concerns the homicidal career of Sweeney, falsely imprisoned
by a Judge who covets his wife.
Cheated of his revenge against the Judge, Sweeney - with the aid of his razor -
exacts a far more terrible revenge cheerfully helped by Mrs. Lovett who is delighted
to give new life to her flavourless meat pies!
