Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Sweeney Todd (subtitled "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"), is a highly-regarded musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler. It is based on the Christopher Bond version of the legendary story of a murderous English barber, which added influences from The Count of Monte Cristo and The Revenger's Tragedy to create an entirely new story. The musical tells the sad tale of escaped convict and former barber Benjamin Barker, who was sent to an Australian penal colony fifteen years ago by the corrupt Judge Turpin, who lusted after Barker's beautiful young wife Lucy. Back in London with the help of the good-natured young sailor Anthony Hope, Barker has become a grim, cynical figure calling himself Sweeney Todd. When he arrives at his former home to reunite with Lucy and their now-teenage daughter Johanna, however, he finds only his neighbor, Mrs. Lovett, the widowed proprietress of a struggling meat pie shop, who tells him that once he was out of the picture, Judge Turpin raped Lucy, who poisoned herself afterward, and took Johanna in as his ward. Sweeney swears revenge on the Judge as well as his obsequious lackey Beadle Bamford, and Mrs. Lovett takes him in and gives him his old razors back so he can set up as a barber once more. When Anthony meets and falls in Love at First Sight with Johanna, who is now the new target of Judge Turpin's perverse affections, and Mrs. Lovett begins her own plot to keep Sweeney, whom she's loved since before he was shipped away, by her side, the stage is set for a gruesome rampage of Mad Love, bloody revenge... and delicious meat pies.
