The infamous tale of barbarous barber Sweeney Todd, who returns to Victorian-era London obsessed with revenge against the judge responsible for his unjust exile and subsequent death of his wife.

The relentless Todd and his cherished razor thirst for the judge’s blood, but when it eludes them, their vengeance expands to all humanity. Yet—what to do with the bodies?
