In 19th-century London, Sweeney Todd is a prosperous and successful Fleet Street barber – that is until his life is torn apart by a shocking miscarriage of justice.
Returning after 15 years with a thirst for revenge, he welcomes clients to his barber’s chair and dispatches them to the cellar below, as he bides his time for a chance to confront the Judge and right that wrong.
Meanwhile, next door, Mrs Lovett has suddenly started serving up the most succulent meat pies in London.
But will Todd’s insatiable lust for blood prove his undoing?

If you’re weighing up the cost of going to see a London West End show my simple advice is “don’t bother” – just go and see Sweeney Todd instead
