Synopsis
Sweeney Todd has a lucrative business shaving his customers too close. With the assistance of Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime, he robs and erases. But Sweeney has other ambitions. He plans to marry the socially prominent and dainty Lily Fairoak and move into politics. Complications set in and the furious barber finds himself harassed by waifs from the orphanage, honest sailing lads, society matrons and the spirits of those he has done in. Comic chases, heart-rending moments in the depths of the city jail and joyous reunions are set against a background of the Barbary Coast, Chinatown, and Nob Hill.

Customer Reviews
- "This script is flexible, fun, and accessible for a high school group! Easily done simply on a small stage, this well-known character (Sweeney Todd) is displayed in a different setting (San Francisco) and with an intriguing premise. It moves quickly with short scenes, and lends itself to a fun night of laughter!"
- Review by Andrea Rassler, Northwest Cabarrus HS, Concord, N.C.
- "A classic story told in a very fun way. There's a lot of room for actors to play with their characters, and it's a major audience pleaser!"
- Review by Kris Kissel, Sabino High School, Tucson, Ariz.
