SWEENEY TODD STAGING BREAKDOWN BY SCENE, SONG AND ACTOR

Agatha Christie is spoofed hilariously as a respectable murder mystery turns into a farcical game of illusion and reality.  Colonel Winthrop Wiggins and his wife Beatrice live in their typically English country home.  During a blizzard which cuts them off, they receive a visit from Sergeant Gallagher.  He informs them that a notorious “Peanut Murderer” is on the loose.  Laughs abound as Gallagher, the Wigginses and the butler Miles engage in a zany intrigue of murders, accusations, and arrests.
