“Exceptional performances, Jessica Heppelthwaite as Mrs Lovett was extremely entertaining, beautiful voice and very funny. Kyle Goold as Sweeney Todd channelled his best Johnny Depp to the point where my partner thought they were using a recording from the film! The performance of the night was Lord Brantham, a pivotal role performed with precision and perfection. He also played the poet! What a guy!”  -Chelsie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

“Absolutely fantastic. You could have been at a West End show.”
