“Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd…”
We are proud to announce that our production for next year will be
Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Monday 4th - Saturday 9th February 2013, Norwich Theatre Royal
Stephen Sondheim's musical (with a book by Hugh Wheeler) tells the tale of Sweeney Todd, a murderous barber, and his partner in crime, Nellie Lovett, a baker who disposes of the bodies by baking them into her pies. Meanwhile, Anthony Hope, a sailor who saved Todd's life, falls in love with Todd's estranged daughter, Johanna, who is being brought up as the ward of the twisted Judge Turpin.
Featuring one of Sondheim’s darkest and most intricate scores. From the opening chords of the organ prelude to the chilling sound of the factory whistle, the mood remains atmospheric through the choral sounds of ‘The Ballad of Sweeney Todd’ to the more intense ‘Epiphany’. The lyrics are witty and exciting, with comic songs such as ‘By the Sea’ and ‘A Little Priest’ lodged firmly into the musical theatre repertoire.
