The original production of "Sweeney Todd" with Sondheim's music and lyrics and a book by Hugh Wheeler based on the play by Christopher Bond, opened on Broadway in1979 and won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The show's mix of the comic, the dramatic, and the macabre was held together by Sondheim's movie-like score. It has had hundreds of productions throughout the world including its recent acclaimed revival in New York.
