One of Stephen Sondheim's most celebrated works, this musical thriller follows the return of Sweeney Todd from a wrongful prison sentence.  As he tries to pick up the pieces of his life, he is distraught to learn his beloved family is dead or gone. Bitter and forlorn he tries to find his place in a corrupt world. He meets Ms. Lovett, the enterprising proprieter of a bug infested meat pie shop, who convinces him to resume his old trade as a barber. As the story progresses, we find out that Sweeney is not who he claims to be, and that his daughter is in fact still alive. Sweeney attempts to save her and becomes obsessed with enacting revenge against not only those who wronged his family, but anyone in his way.  Will his passion for revenge preclude his family’s salvation?
