We show you Sweeney Todd like you’ve never seen it before

Cape Town – The well-known musical, Sweeney Todd, opens at the Theatre on the Bay in Cape Town tonight where it will run until 9 April.

Pieter Toerien Productions is bringing this musical thriller by American theatrical genius, Stephen Sondheim, to life with a stellar local cast.

Starring Jonathan Roxmouth and Charon Williams-Ros and featuring sublime theatrics, a thrilling, chilling story, suspense, passion and deliciously dark humour, Sweeney Todd is directed and designed by the award-winning KickstArt team of Steven Stead and Greg King.

In a Channel24 exclusive we get to go behind-the-curtain of the much-talked-about production to bring you an intimate photo essay that captures everything the audience never gets to see.
