Event information
Stephen Sondheim’s thrilling musical masterpiece, 'Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' returns to the Mother City this March.
The ghoulish tale follows Sweeney Todd, a murderous barber, and his enterprising accomplice, Mrs. Nellie Lovett, who bakes the remains of Todd’s victims in her meat pies, then sells them. Her pie shop on Fleet Street garners great success among the unsuspecting citizens of London.
The story has captured the popular imagination since it first appeared in 1846 in a serialised penny-dreadful titled, The String of Pearls.
This new production is one of the most unique and unforgettable stagings of the much-loved musical ever seen in South Africa. It stars Marcel Meyer as Sweeney Todd and Zoë McLaughlin as Mrs. Lovett, with Musical Direction by Jaco Griessel and Direction by Fred Abrahamse.
