Sweeney Todd at Lunt-Fontanne Theatre

What makes this show so special, then? Let us tell you! It is billed as one of the most awesome tales in musical history that have ever been told. You see, there is this evil judge who imprisons a London barber to Australia for a crime he did not commit because of his desire for the attractive wife of said barber.

The story becomes extremely potent when the man, who now calls himself Sweeney Todd, returns after 15 years, picks up his old trade, and vows to exact revenge for his false imprisonment. His razor not only shaves, but also kills! That's right, you read that correctly: murder. Eventually, the bodies are sent down to Mrs. Lovett, who uses them in her meat-pie business and sells them to unwary Londoners.

Sweeney's thirst for blood won't be fulfilled until he slits the judge's throat, even though many fall to his blade. This theater production is excellent in every way. You expect this one to give you the time of your life thanks to a fantastic story and the most awe-inspiring visuals and props on the planet, but sadly, like everything this brilliant, there is always a drawback: tickets are selling out fast. Buy yours here and now before it's too late to avoid missing the show of this fall.
