A story called The String of Pearls was published in a weekly magazine during the winter of 1846–47. The character Sweeney Todd originated in serialized Victorian popular fiction, known as penny dreadfuls. There is also a woman wearing a blood-stained dress and holding a rolling pin next to the man. The original logo for the musical is a modified version of an advertising image from the 19th century, with the sign replaced by a straight razor.
It has been revived in many productions as well as inspiring a film adaptation.
It won the Tony Award for Best Musical and Olivier Award for Best New Musical. Sweeney Todd opened on Broadway in 1979 and in the West End in 1980. The character of Sweeney Todd first appeared in a Victorian penny dreadful titled The String of Pearls. It is based on the 1970 play Sweeney Todd by Christopher Bond. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (often referred to simply as Sweeney Todd) is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler.
