Description

This Production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street first took place in Harrington's Pie Shop, one of the oldest pie shops in London in October 2014. . The production was produced by Tooting Arts Club, and was directed by Bill Buckhurst. The show performed 6 shows a week, while the pie shop operated as normal during the day. The immersion began across the street in Anton's Barber Shop for the preshow, and the entire performance was performed live for guests, who sat in the dining seats while the action took place around them. The performance included Jeremy Secomb as Sweeney Todd and Siobhan McCarthy as Mrs Lovett
