Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!
What to Expect: A dark, witty tale of love, murder and revenge set against the backdrop of 19th century London. Some sharp language and violence make it less suitable for all audiences.
You’ll Love it if you Loved: Lear (2023), Nell Gwynn (2022) Into The Woods (2019)
Rating: PG-13
