Synopsis
Sweeney Todd is considered by many as one of the greatest musical scores of the twentieth century. Stephen Sondheim, the genius, knows exactly how to use music to set the mood for his characters. It’s a wonderful story, with a couple of good twists, fascinating characters, and a majestic, complex and exciting score.
The Broadway version of Sweeney Todd offers so much more than the movie. There is a love story, tons of humor, and a wonderful cast of characters that lend their strong voices, contributing additional layers to the Sondheim’s multi-dimensional score.
Gripping. Exciting. Challenging. Sweeny Todd is set in a world of demented people where one can draw many parallels to our own. It is interesting to see how the characters of Sweeney Todd cope in this world and more interesting to see what lessons we can derive from this. But Sondheim's grand masterpiece based on a Christopher Bond adaptation of an old British urban legend, rings with emotion, and the outstanding score has many layers of feelings and music to discover.
Sweeney Todd features some of the best talents of Philippine Theater, with Audie Gemora in the title role, and Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo as Mrs. Lovett. At the helm of the orchestra is none other than one of Manila’s finest conductors, Gerard Salonga of Filharmonika. Co-directors Baby Barredo and Michael Williams will bring life to this gem of a musical.
