Get yourselves ready because Sweeney Todd is returning to the stage in an upcoming Broadway revival. The outstanding musical thriller made its mark in history as Stephen Sondheim’s greatest work. The thrilling plot paired with the hauntingly beautiful tunes makes it the best Broadway musical. It debuted on Broadway in 1979, and the story and music has withstood the test of time. Some of the most notable tracks from the show include “Johanna,” “Not While I’m Around,” and “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.”
Sondheim came up with the idea for the musical. He was inspired after seeing British actor Christopher Bond's play about the 19th-century murderer Sweeney Todd. He has said it is "a dark operetta," but also called it "a movie for the stage." It is almost completely underscored: 80% of the show is sung, and Sondheim's music play unwaveringly behind the action.
The musical shows a hellbent barber who gets sucked into the darkness of revenge in London’s 19th century. Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford will star alongside each other as the barbaric barber and his adoring sidekick. Dedicated to helping Sweeney Todd, Mrs. Lovett grinds Sweeney Todd’s victims into meat pies for unsuspecting customers. The one-of-a-kind musical thriller is mostly sung-through and includes both broody tunes and bouncy beats.
Finally!Good news! Broadway audiences will finally be able to enjoy Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning score in its entirety - complete with Jonathan Tunick's iconic 26-player orchestration - happening for the first time since its premiere.
