Have a bloody good time watching Steven Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd" next month.A rare instance of a musical thriller, this chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous barberism and culinary crime 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.
