Just 8 actors, 3 musicians and an audience of just 32, this intimate revival received exceptional reviews, 4 Off West end nominations, and on the last night a visit from Stephen Sondheim himself.
Due to its phenomenal success TAC re-mounted Sweeney Todd in Spring 2015 with the endorsement and help of no other than Sir Cameron Mackintosh.
Tooting Arts Club’s acclaimed production of Sweeney Todd comes to New York City following its sold-out runs in London. Former White House Executive Pastry Chef William “Bill” Yosses – dubbed “the Crust Master” by President Barack Obama – will serve as the production’s official pie maker throughout the New York run.
