We asked each of our reviewers to nominate their favourite show of 2015. Danny Coleman-Cooke was quick with his reponse - Sweeney Todd by Tooting Arts Club with Jeremy Secomb and Sionhan McCarthy.
Sweeney Todd was a spell-binding production that remained in my head for days afterwards. An eerie and perfectly chosen venue combined with a first-class cast and some highly intelligent staging. The most intimate and engaging production I've ever seen that rightly got a standing ovation afterwards. It was so good that even Sondheim gave it rave reviews!
The show was transferred to a recreation of Harrington's Pie And Mash Shop on Shaftesbury Avenue with the help of Cameron Mackintosh.
