The origins of this musical thriller go all the way back to the 1800\u2019s, where urban legends conceived of an evil barber who did dastardly deeds with his straight razors. A penny dreadful serial tapped into this public fascination by creating Sweeney Todd, a homicidal barber who operated on Fleet Street. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over a century later, this tale caught the eye of playwright Christopher Bond, whose play was later adapted by none other than Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler in 1979. &nbsp;This gory tale of gruesome revenge and twisted justice became a smash hit, winning a Tony for Best New Musical and Drama Desk and Olivier Awards. Later, it would go on to be performed worldwide. The 2007 film adaptation by Tim Burton revived interest in this sordid tale, as did the sensational 2005 Broadway revival. There\u2019s no better time to bring it to life than the months leading up to Halloween!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TheatreWorld loves to take a walk on the dark side, so let\u2019s stroll down some of their detailed drops showcasing the seedier side of London.

Benjamin Barker, a sullen barber with a dark past, arrives with fresh, young sailor Anthony Hope. Barker was falsely convicted and exiled by Judge Turpin, a corrupt man who desired Barker\u2019s wife Lucy. Finally home, Barker is obsessed with finding out what happened to his beloved wife and enacting revenge on the man who tore them apart.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A gritty tale needs a gritty setting. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/3510\/vintage-city-docks-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vintage City Docks backdrop<\/a> has just the right details to set the tone. Vintage schooners line the cobblestone walkways of the London waterfront. Brick and stone details on the home and storefronts that line the walkway easily bring to mind the 18th century. A brick tower stands tall among the clustered buildings, perhaps standing for the pious leaders of the city, who, like the gaping black archway, also harbor dark depths.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barker adopts the alias \u201cSweeney Todd\u201d. He returns to his former workspace and resumes his old barber profession (\u201cMy Friends\u201d) above Mrs. Lovett\u2019s Pie shop. Known for making the \u201cWorst Pies in London\u201d, Mrs. Lovett herself has an oddness about her that will have twisted implications later. Try this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/262\/victorian-street-with-snowdust-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Victorian Street with Snowdust backdrop<\/a> to capture the strangle little corner where these two odd characters hunker down. Amber glowing street lamps are drawn with just the right detail so as to be gas or flame, perfect for the time period. Moody lighting on the shop fronts give the setting a mysterious air, and the hints of snow also bring in a coldness, which mirrors the lack of conscience displayed by many of the protagonists and antagonists alike.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Judge Turpin&#8217;s Home<\/h2>\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) { \r\n\tjQuery( '#slider-pro-3-4549' ).sliderPro({\r\n\t\t\/\/width\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 1000,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/height\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 500,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/auto play\r\n\t\t\t\tautoplay:  true,\r\n\t\tautoplayOnHover: 'none',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplayDelay: 5000,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\tarrows: true,\r\n\t\tbuttons: true,\r\n\t\tsmallSize: 500,\r\n\t\tmediumSize: 1000,\r\n\t\tlargeSize: 3000,\r\n\t\tfade: true,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/thumbnail\r\n\t\tthumbnailArrows: true,\r\n\t\tthumbnailWidth: 120,\r\n\t\tthumbnailHeight: 120,\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tthumbnailsPosition: 'bottom',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcenterImage: true,\r\n\t\timageScaleMode: 'cover',\r\n\t\tallowScaleUp: true,\r\n\t\t\t\tstartSlide: 0,\r\n\t\tloop: true,\r\n\t\tslideDistance: 5,\r\n\t\tautoplayDirection: 'normal',\r\n\t\ttouchSwipe: true,\r\n\t\tfullScreen: true,\r\n\t});\r\n});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div id=\"slider-pro-3-4549\" class=\"slider-pro\">\r\n\t\t\t<!---- slides div start ---->\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slides\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"BAROQUE PARLOR Professional Scenic Sweeney Todd Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BAROQUE-PARLOR-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"VINTAGE CITY STREET Professional Scenic Sweeney Todd Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/VINTAGE-CITY-STREET-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<!---- slides div end ---->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- slides thumbnails div end -->\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<style>\r\n\/* Layout 3 *\/\r\n\/* border *\/\r\n#slider-pro-3-4549 .sp-selected-thumbnail {\r\n\tborder: 4px solid #000000;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* font + color *\/\r\n.title-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n.desc-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #00000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* bullets color *\/\r\n.sp-button  {\r\n\tborder: 2px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-button  {\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color - bottom *\/\r\n.sp-selected-thumbnail::before {\r\n\tborder-bottom: 5px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-thumbnail::after {\r\n\tborder-bottom: 13px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color - top *\/\r\n\r\n\/* full screen icon *\/\r\n.sp-full-screen-button::before {\r\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* hover navigation icon color *\/\r\n.sp-next-arrow::after, .sp-next-arrow::before {\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-previous-arrow::after, .sp-previous-arrow::before {\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#slider-pro-3-4549 .title-in {\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tfont-weight: bolder;\r\n\ttext-align: center;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#slider-pro-3-4549 .title-in-bg {\r\n\tbackground: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);

Sweeney shaves Turpin and savors this moment, which he has been waiting for for years. However, just as he\u2019s about to slit his throat with his silver straight razors, Anthony bursts into the shop, proclaiming his intention to elope with Johanna. Enraged that his plan has been foiled, Sweeney swears revenge on the whole world (\u201cEpiphany\u201d). He goes on a killing spree, killing every customers that comes through his door. To dispose of them, he and Mrs. Lovett hatch a plan (\u201cA Little Priest\u201d). Sweeney dumps them through a trapdoor under his barber chair and Mrs. Lovett hides the bodies in her pies, which become wildly popular with her unsuspecting customers (&#8220;God, That&#8217;s Good!). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/381\/old-world-tavern-interior-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Old World Tavern Interior backdrop<\/a> for Mrs. Lovett\u2019s Pie Shop, as it transitions from a neighborhood joke into a gruesomely popular culinary hotspot. The rough-hewn wood, mounted animal head, and too-small fire in a dark fireplace project just the right mix of boisterous tavern and macabre eatery.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mrs. Lovett is not without a heart, although it turns out to be just as dark, twisted, and full of secrets as Sweeney\u2019s.

There, below the dirty streets, Mrs. Lovett grinds up the corpses into her now-delicious pies. It\u2019s also the site of some of the show\u2019s most pivotal murders and the place where Toby, who figures out exactly what Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett are up to, loses his mind. &nbsp;Try this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/963\/vintage-warehouse---b-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vintage Warehouse &#8211; B backdrop<\/a>, with its basement feel and twisted stairway.

His triumph is short-lived, though. He soon discovers that his beloved Lucy has become one of his victims, unrecognizable now as an insane, filthy beggar woman. However, the body count doesn\u2019t stop there. When a distraught Sweeney finds out that Mrs. Lovett lied about Lucy in order to keep him for herself, he dances Mrs. Lovett into the bakehouse oven. Cradling his dead Lucy\u2019s body, with nothing left to live for, he lets a now-deranged Toby slit his throat (\u201cFinal Scene\u201d), while Johanna and Anthony run away to find a happy life elsewhere (\u201cThe Ballad of Sweeney Todd\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>London Streets<\/h2>\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) { \r\n\tjQuery( '#slider-pro-3-4561' ).sliderPro({\r\n\t\t\/\/width\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 1000,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/height\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 500,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/auto play\r\n\t\t\t\tautoplay:  true,\r\n\t\tautoplayOnHover: 'none',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplayDelay: 5000,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\tarrows: true,\r\n\t\tbuttons: true,\r\n\t\tsmallSize: 500,\r\n\t\tmediumSize: 1000,\r\n\t\tlargeSize: 3000,\r\n\t\tfade: true,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/thumbnail\r\n\t\tthumbnailArrows: true,\r\n\t\tthumbnailWidth: 120,\r\n\t\tthumbnailHeight: 120,\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tthumbnailsPosition: 'bottom',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcenterImage: true,\r\n\t\timageScaleMode: 'cover',\r\n\t\tallowScaleUp: true,\r\n\t\t\t\tstartSlide: 0,\r\n\t\tloop: true,\r\n\t\tslideDistance: 5,\r\n\t\tautoplayDirection: 'normal',\r\n\t\ttouchSwipe: true,\r\n\t\tfullScreen: true,\r\n\t});\r\n});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div id=\"slider-pro-3-4561\" class=\"slider-pro\">\r\n\t\t\t<!---- slides div start ---->\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slides\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Scenic My Fair Lady EUROPEAN STREET WITH ARCH Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/EUROPEAN-STREET-WITH-ARCH-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Scenic My Fair Lady OLD WORLD ALLEY Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/OLD-WORLD-ALLEY-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"sp-image\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"VINTAGE BIG BEN Professional Scenic Sweeney Todd Backdrop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-responsive-image-slider\/assets\/css\/images\/blank.gif\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/VINTAGE-BIG-BEN-with-Frame.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<!---- slides div end ---->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- slides thumbnails div end -->\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<style>\r\n\/* Layout 3 *\/\r\n\/* border *\/\r\n#slider-pro-3-4561 .sp-selected-thumbnail {\r\n\tborder: 4px solid #000000;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* font + color *\/\r\n.title-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n.desc-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #00000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* bullets color *\/\r\n.sp-button  {\r\n\tborder: 2px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-button  {\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color - bottom *\/\r\n.sp-selected-thumbnail::before {\r\n\tborder-bottom: 5px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-thumbnail::after {\r\n\tborder-bottom: 13px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color - top *\/\r\n\r\n\/* full screen icon *\/\r\n.sp-full-screen-button::before {\r\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* hover navigation icon color *\/\r\n.sp-next-arrow::after, .sp-next-arrow::before {\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-previous-arrow::after, .sp-previous-arrow::before {\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#slider-pro-3-4561 .title-in {\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tfont-weight: bolder;\r\n\ttext-align: center;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#slider-pro-3-4561 .title-in-bg {\r\n\tbackground: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);

Take a look at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/3616\/european-street-with-arch-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European Street with Arch backdrop<\/a>, for example. The archway leads to what looks like a brighter, cleaner area of town, but first you have to travel down a darkened passageway bordered by a slumping stone wall, heavy with the ages.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/3617\/old-world-alley-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Old World Alley backdrop<\/a> is just dripping with all the dark drama that the tale of Sweeney Todd requires. One can easily see Barker\/Todd lurking down these narrow passageways, stalking Turpin and the lovely Johanna, his mind full of dark plots of revenge. Doors and windows peek out from all corners, reminding us that, in a city like this, someone is always watching.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatreworldbackdrops.com\/265\/vintage-big-ben-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vintage Big Ben backdrop<\/a> as a possible opening or closing drop. (Or even as a single drop for the whole show, if your space or budget prevents you from using multiple drops.) A stark outline drawing of the famous clock tower dominates the foreground.

It functions as a commentary on the repression of the Victorian era and the seedy underbelly of politics and religion, themes which still ring true today. The greed and lack of human compassion of the burgeoning Industrial Revolution provided much fodder as an essay on the human condition, and for all its modern toys, the technological era has some relevant similarities. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweeney Todd<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a splendid work on many levels, entertaining in all the ways theatre should be &#8211; evocative, challenging, providing a mirror by which society can look at itself.
