Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Stephen Sondheim's musical tells the tale of murderous barber Sweeney Todd and his partner in crime, Nellie Lovett, the baker who disposes of the bodies by baking them into her pies.

The smash-hit musical, which premiered in 1979, has gained a whole new audience since the release of the new film version by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.
