Hosted Lunch. In 1979 this eight-time Tony award-winning Best Musical scared Broadway to its core. In 2007 the big-screen adaptation caused a few nightmares as well. Now its our turn. From Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler comes this chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece.

Sweeney Todd tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th-century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. His thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, & the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe! "It is dark, nightmarish & thrilling, & packed with tremendous numbers, from the comic to the cruel (often simultaneously)…Watching it, you have no doubt that this is a masterpiece of nervous laughter and sudden jolting shocks."—The Telegraph UK .

CAUTION: this production should not be viewed by the easily shaken, or the young. This is a musical thriller!
