Sweeney Todd at Lunt-Fontanne Theatre

So, what's all the fuss about with this musical? Well, allow us to expand! It is one of the most epic narratives ever told in the history of musicals. The reason is that there is a unfair judge who harbors lust towards the bonny wife of a London barber and extradites him to Australia for a crime he did not do.

The story becomes extremely intense when the man, who now calls himself Sweeney Todd returns to his old trade after a 15-year absence and promises to exact revenge for being immorally imprisoned. His razor doesn't just shave; it also kills! You read that right, folks: Murder.

The bodies are eventually sent to to Mrs. Lovett, where she uses them as a special ingredient in her meat-pie business and sells them to unwary Londoners. Sweeney will not be content until he slits the judge's throat, no matter how many people succumb to his blade.

Every single thing about it operates in this play's favor - that is why it is liked so much. You can be certain to have the time of your life with this one because it has the most awesome visuals and props the world has ever seen, but like everything that is this good, there is always a drawback: tickets are selling out quickly. Buy yours right this second before it's too late to catch the show of this fall.
