What is the story?
The legendary barber Sweeney Todd, hell-bent on revenge after being transported to Australia wrongly for murder, returns to London twenty years later and takes up with his neighbor, the enterprising meat pie-making Mrs. Lovett in a gory plot to slice their way through London's elite. Justice will be served - along with the lush melody, audacious humor, and grisly thrills.
