Love Sweeney Todd - it's a dark comedy. I took my parents - they both loved it. Even my mom. Normally, she can't stand anything where people get killed.

About a barber (Sweeney Todd) who is out to get revenge on the person who sent him to prison on trumped up charges, got rid of his wife & is raising his daughter.
It will be hard to get tickets after it wins the Tony New York Times Review

Are you looking for a comedy or drama, musical or non-musical? Something safe, or something edgy?

Avenue Q is hilarious, but not for a straightlaced person.
