This is about the film. For the stage musical on which it was based, see Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (musical).
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a 2007 film adaptation of the musical of the same name, directed by Tim Burton. It follows the same plot as the original show, but excises many of the musical numbers or greatly shortens them. None of the cast members, save for Laura Michelle Kelly, a West End regular, had any professional singing experience, though several of them had performed in other film productions.
