Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
|
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim |
Buy Tickets - $15.00 |
The recent Tim Burton movie starred Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter as the partners in gore. Adam Eliot and Hannah Smith lend their gifted voices to the merchants of mayhem. Anton Kaduck is a revelation as the hanging judge. Megan Ready-Walters and her sweet soprano voice makes her the perfect ingenue. The Gothic church that is The Wellington Street Theatre is the perfect environment for Fleet Street and its sordid neighbourhood. Adam Eliot's Sweeney Todd arrives back in England after being unjustly sentenced for crimes he did not commit. All he ever loved has been taken from him and he is looking for revenge. He falls in with Hannah Smith's Mrs. Lovett, and between them they go on a murderous spree, which ultimately consumes them in the fires of hate.
Sondheim is the briliance behind dozens of Broadway musicals, including 'A Little Night Music', 'Gypsy', 'West Side Story'. He is well known for his challenging, passionate music.
