Product Description
Review
Stephen Sondheim's gore-soaked musical is dark and dazzling by turns, and utterly hair-raising… a macabre horror story becomes both diabolically funny and genuinely tragic … bloody marvelous. --Daily Mail
A masterpiece, perhaps the last truly great American musical. This is, in short, a blood-drenched love letter you are unlikely to forget in a hurry. --Telegraph

Product Description
The gruesomely fascinating musical about the 'Demon Barber of Fleet Street', from the writing partnership behind A Little Night Music.
Victim of a gross injustice that robbed him of his wife and child, Sweeney Todd sets about exacting a terrible revenge on society: slitting the throats of the customers who visit his barbershop. But things are getting complicated - a romance has developed with Mrs Lovett, the lady who runs the pie shop next door, and the disappearances are starting to cause concern. With the bodies piling up, Sweeney Todd hits upon a novel idea, and starts passing on his 'patrons' to his homely neighbour... Meat pie, anyone?
This is the full book and lyrics of Stephen Sondheim's musical based on the famous 19th-century melodrama. Sweeney Todd won Best Musical, Best Book (by Hugh Wheeler) and Best Score, as well as five other Tony Awards for its Broadway Premiere in 1979. It has been revived to huge acclaim many times since; most recently in London's West End, in a smash-hit production starring Michael Ball as the eponymous barber and Imelda Staunton as his partner in crime.
