If you haven't seen the movie, first of all, than you definitely need to do that pronto! Before I even had seen this movie/musical play, I thought it sounded really weird. I didn't know it was a broadway play, only a movie, so I couldn't help but wonder why they were making a movie like this. To me it just seemed out of the blue. After I went to see it with my family, I was so surprised; I loved it! The storyline, though full of gruesome goriness and blood, was really clever and good.
It is set in London, and is about this man, Benjamin Barker, who was a barber and who married this beautiful woman. They had a daughter, Johanna, and the family lived happily ever after... until the judge of the town made a scheme that sent him (Sweeney) far away from London so that he could have Sweeney's wife all to himself. Sweeney eventually comes back to london, years later, full of revenge and anger towards this judge. Then comes all the blood and goriness as he kills men, in hopes to kill the judge and get his family back. That was a really short description, but you just really need to see the movie for yourself.
