The story of barber Todd has a history of 170 years. This story first appeared in Britain in the 1930s with 19. After the novel was published, it was quickly adapted into a London stage play. The play is not only a hit, but also an enduring stage classic. Until one hundred and forty years later, that is, around the 1970s, Londoners were still telling the story of Todd, the barber, on the stage. This time, Todd's stage play happened to be seen by Steven Thornham, a famous Broadway producer who came to Britain for a holiday. At this time, he had the idea of adapting the play back to Broadway. After intensive preparation, 1979, barber Todd finally stepped onto the Broadway stage, and the play quickly became popular and won the Tony Award, the highest award in Broadway that year.
