Re: Sweeney Todd on anywhere in the UK
The production in Cardiff will be a properly staged production - albeit on what I gather is a tiny playing space. They have no orchestra, as I understand, and the show will be performed accoustically.
The cast sang at the Sondheim Study day on Saturday, and I have to say they sound very good. Obviously not a professional company - the National Youth Opera of Wales - but the quality of the singing was very fine, and you could hear every word!
I'm only kicking myself I can't go, as I'm booked for other things while it's on.
