The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett鈥檚 luck sharply shifts when Todd鈥檚 thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!

Titled 鈥淭he String of Pearls,鈥 the original tale featured Todd who would go on to become a pillar of 19th-century melodramatic folklore and English legend. Starting this weekend, is bringing the 鈥渄emon barber鈥 to life at Playhouse Square ().
