Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street HD

Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton lead a cast of 25 in the captivating musical thriller, Sweeney Todd - playing at Chichester Festival Theatre until 5 November 2011. This wonderfully macabre and gloriously grisly story of betrayal, love and bloody revenge is by Tony Award-winning Stephen Sondheim (Follies, A Little Night Music, Into the Woods). Sweeney Todd returns home following years of false imprisonment to discover he has been robbed of his family. Reunited with his beloved razor, and accompanied by pie-shop owner Mrs Lovett, a sinister partnership forms in his quest for revenge, resulting in fatal shaves and meat pies with a difference. Making their Chichester debuts are Michael Ball (Hairspray, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Phantom of the Opera) as the infamous Sweeney Todd and Oscar-nominated Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake, Harry Potter, Guys and Dolls, Into the Woods) as Mrs Lovett.
