Photos: Michael Ball & Imelda Staunton Rehearse Sweeney Todd
The Chichester revival of Stephen Sondheim‘s Sweeney Todd starts previews at the Festival Theatre tomorrow night (24 September 2011) ahead of its 6 October opening.
Sondheim’s 1979 Broadway musical, which has a book by Hugh Wheeler, was last seen in London in 2005 in John Doyle’s actor-musician Watermill Theatre revival, which had an extended season at Trafalgar Studios and then at the New Ambassadors, won two Whatsonstage.com Awards and later transferred to Broadway where it won two Tony Awards.
Chichester Festival Theatre recently released rehearsal photos of Sweeney Todd, which runs until 5 November 2011.
