Sondheim is the mastermind behind the musical. He was inspired after seeing British actor Christopher Bond's play about the old-time serial killer Sweeney Todd. He has said it is "a dark operetta," but also defined it "a movie for the stage." It is almost completely underscored: it is sung for over 80% of the show, and Sondheim's tunes play consistently behind the action.

The story is about a hellbent barber who seeks out revenge in 19th-century London. The stars of the show are Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford who will play Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett. Dedicated to helping Sweeney Todd, Mrs. Lovett molds Sweeney Todd’s victims into meat pies for unsuspecting customers. The distinctive musical thriller is mostly sung-through and includes both dark tunes and upbeat melodies.
