Brace yourselves because Sweeney Todd is returning to the stage in a highly anticipated revival. The outstanding musical thriller is known as Stephen Sondheim’s most remarkable work. The devilish plot paired with the hauntingly beautiful tunes makes it a fantastic Broadway production. It premiered on Broadway in 1979, and the story and music continues to dazzle audiences today. Some of the most unforgettable songs from the show include “Johanna,” “Not While I’m Around,” and “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.”
Sondheim is the mastermind behind the musical. He was inspired after seeing British actor Christopher Bond's play about the Victorian era serial killer Sweeney Todd. He has said it is "a dark operetta," but also named it "a movie for the stage." It is almost completely underscored: it is sung for over 80% of the show, and Sondheim's music play consistently in the background.
The story follows 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. Lost in her infatuation with Sweeney, Mrs. Lovett grinds Sweeney Todd’s victims into meat pies for clueless customers. The unique musical thriller is mostly sung-through and includes both broody tunes and bouncy beats.
