Sweeney Todd transfers


The acclaimed production of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd enjoyed sell out audiences in Chichester’s Festival Theatre, where I finally caught up with it last October, [my blog piece here] and is heading to the Adelphi Theatre to thrill West End audiences.

Starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton Sweeney Todd the musical is laced with dark humour dazzling wit and an infectious score. After years of false imprisonment Sweeney Todd returns to London on a quest for justice and retribution. He is aided and abetted by pie-shop owner Mrs Lovett to avenge the wrongs done to him and his family many years before.
Sweeney Todd the Musical is directed by Jonathan Kent and is heading to London for a strictly limited run.
