London Coliseum
Emma Thompson and Bryn Terfel star in Stephen Sondheim’s famed musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Directed by Lonny Price, this semi-staged revival will feature the entire ENO orchestra, as well as a full cast and ensemble. Following an acclaimed run at New York’s Lincoln Center, Sweeney Todd comes to the London Coliseum for a strictly limited run of thirteen performances.
Academy Award-winning actress Emma Thompson returns to the London stage for the first time in 25 years to star in a revival of Stephen Sondheim’s gruesome musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Accompanied by international star Bryn Terfel in the title role, this semi-staged revival features the entire ENO orchestra, and follows previous critically-acclaimed performances at New York’s Lincoln Center.
With a sumptuous score by Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is the well-known operetta that follows a vengeful barber who is set on ending the lives of everyone that ruined his own. A devilishly gory tale, Sweeney Todd sees Benjamin Barker wrongly accused by a sinister judge, who transports Barker to Australia in order to corrupt his wife Lucy. On his return, he adopts the name Sweeney Todd and vows to become a barber – the only way he can ensure that he will be able to slit the throat of the man that wronged him. Soon, Todd is killing left, right and centre, and the bloodthirsty Mrs Lovett begins using the human meat in her pies...
