National Concert Hall, Friday 25th July
National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, by arrangement with Music Theatre International, proudly partners with Irish Youth Musical Theatre (IYMT) and the Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM) to present a concert performance of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler.
The role of Sweeney Todd, the titular barber will be played by Rob Houchen and his equally demented accomplice, pie shop-owner, Mrs Lovett, will be played by Anna-Jane Casey. All other roles have been cast on the basis of open auditions for young actors in training and recently graduated actors. In addition, more than 68 young actors will join the company in Featured Ensemble and Chorus roles
About Sweeney Todd:
First staged on Broadway in 1979, Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd has claimed its place in theatres, concert halls, opera houses, and, in Tim Burton’s star-studded 2007 Hollywood adaptation, on film.
Part musical thriller, part Victorian melodrama, part macabre cartoon, it is one of the truly great modern musicals, lauded with prestigious awards on both sides of the Atlantic.
