Magpie:
Well, it's not really *true* exactly. The murderer Sweeney Todd and 
Mrs. Lovett--that's true. I think they found a lot of bones in the 
tunnel between their two establishments...But the story of the musical 
with the wife and the daughter and the judge etc., that was based on a 
play that was based loosely on the real story. And the story in the 
musical is great!:-)
