Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd, a barber returning to London after being wrongfully exiled. Seeking revenge on the corrupt judge who destroyed his life, Todd’s quest for justice spirals into madness. Alongside Mrs. Lovett, who runs a meat pie shop with a sinister secret, Todd embarks on a deadly mission that intertwines their fates with those of innocent victims. Through dark humor and unforgettable music, Sweeney Todd explores how the pursuit of vengeance shapes and destroys lives, revealing the tragic consequences when obsession leads people down irreversible paths.
