Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Spotlites @ Merchant's Hall    7 - 23 August @ 17.30    Artfelt Theatre Company

So what do these school pupils from Hampton and Lady Eleanor Holles schools choose for their foray into Musical Theatre: Grease? High School Musical 5? Not a bit of it! Straight to difficulty factor 8 with a classic Sondheim and they pull it off maginificently. A cast of squillions, a tight ten-piece orchestra, great singing (individually and ensemble), and a terrific Mrs Lovett. The prop chain and cut-throat razor work a treat. Recommended.
