What’s Sweeney Todd Like?
Set in Victorian London, Sweeney Todd tells the penny-dreadful tale of a murderous, revenge-seeking barber and his pie-baking accomplice Mrs. Lovett, who uses her culinary skills to dispose of the bothersome corpses.
Is Sweeney Todd Good for Kids?
Although the show is somewhat macabre and a bit bloody, the show is designed to be not-too-offensive for most people, but children under 16 years of age should avoid this show due to its gratuitous scenes of death and murder.
