I like the complicated plot and unfolding of the events, which make the story really interesting to follow, while the outcome of the musical is absolutely unexpected. The musical keep the audience in suspense and I believe this is great. However, I did not like the excessive violence and murders that occur on the regular basis throughout to musical because excessive violence is shocking and distracts from thinking of and critical evaluation of main ideas the author attempted to convey via the musical.

The resolution is the funerals, when Todd is raising up in his coffin and the main characters conclude that all individuals are capable to revenge.

This play is unique in its depiction and analysis of revenge and how revenge may affect one’s life.

Too much murders do not work since it seems the audience just grows accustomed to murders and is not appalled by murders by the end of the musical.
