One of Stephen Sondheim's most popular musicals, this masterpiece, is sure to thrill and delight audiences. This is the story of an unjustly exiled barber, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, the owner of a failing pie shop. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires a meat pie recipe that has all of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!
