Norm Lewis, Carolee Carmello, and New Stars of Sweeney Todd Meet the Press
Norm Lewis, Carolee Carmello, and the new stars of Tooting Arts Club's Sweeney Todd met the press at the Barrow Street Theatre on May 23.
Lewis and Carmello succeed Jeremy Secomb and Siobhán McCarthy as Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett. They are joined by fellow new cast members Stacie Bono (Pirelli and Beggar Woman), Jamie Jackson (Judge Turpin) and John-Michael Lyles (Tobias), alongside Matt Doyle (Anthony), Alex Finke (Johanna), Brad Oscar (the Beadle), Colin Anderson, David Michael Garry, Liz Pearce, and Monet Sabel.
The production comes to Manhattan following sold-out runs in London, where the show debuted in Harrington's Pie and Mash Shop, the oldest continuously operating pie shop in Britain. Directed by Bill Buckhurst, the working pie-shop environment is re-created at the Barrow Street Theatre. The revival opened March 1.
