The Show
Following sell-out success at Chichester Festival Theatre,?Jonathan Kent's acclaimed production of?Sweeney Todd?transfers to London's West End for a limited season from 10 March 2012.
?Widely acknowledged as Stephen Sondheim's musical masterpiece,?Sweeney Todd?stars distinguished musical performer?Michael Ball?as the eponymous demon barber of Fleet Street and Oscar-nominated actress?Imelda Staunton?as the devoted Mrs Lovett.
?Set amongst London's seedy side streets and laced with Sondheim's characteristically brilliant wit and dark humour, the musical depicts Sweeney Todd's savage quest for justice and retribution after years of false imprisonment.
?Aided and abetted by the pie-shop owner, Mrs Lovett, he sets out to avenge the wrongs done to him and his family.
Combining a brutal sensibility with elements of English music hall, the production offers a fascinating portrait of a man driven to madness by injustice.
