What makes this show so good, then? Let us tell you! It is regarded as one of the most epic 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-line becomes extremely powerful when the man, who now calls himself Sweeney Todd, comes back after 15 years, picks up his old trade, and swears to exact revenge for his false imprisonment. His blade not only shaves, but also kills! That's right, you read that correctly: murder. Eventually, the bodies are transported to Mrs. Lovett, who uses them in her meat-pie business and sells them to unwary Londoners.
Sweeney's want for blood will not be quenched until he slits the judge's throat, even though many die to his blade. This play 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 jaw dropping visuals and props the world has ever seen, but sadly, like everything this good, 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 winter.
