Sweeney Todd

Broadway moves into the Royal Swedish Opera. When the embittered Sweeney Todd hears that his wife has died he takes up his old profession as a barber – with the aim of murdering all hateful people who cross his path. By way of assistance, he has Mrs. Lovett, who bakes meat pies to a recipe that is the stuff of nightmares. London in the mid-19th century is a soulless, industrialized society whose losers seek revenge in a mechanical and undiscriminating way.
