Sweeney Todd presented by Youth Actors Academy of Lincoln

Sweeney Todd is a musical thriller about a 19th century London barber who goes on a vengeful rampage. In the past, the evil Judge Turpin framed Todd (known then as Benjamin Barker) and unjustly incarcerated him in a penal colony for 15 years. However, when the show begins, Todd has managed to return to London and has come seeking revenge. He rents a room over the shop of Mrs. Lovett, the proprietress of a struggling pie shop. Todd’s thirst for blood soon expands to include not only the judge but also his unfortunate customers. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lovett happily puts the bodies in the meat grinder and uses the human meat in her meat pies – which become extremely popular with the citizens of London.
