Directed by Robert McWhir Choreographed by Robbie O’Reilly Designed by David Shields Lighting by Richard Lambert Executive Producer Clive Chenery SYNOPSIS Spindlewood, like most towns of age, has its traditions. But no practice, custom, or Old Wives Warning is so firmly adhered to as ‘The Turning of the Key’. Every year, on the last night of winter, as the first day of spring unfolds, the townsfolk gather to take part in a strange ritual. They meet in the centre of the town square, where a statue bearing the likeness of a young girl stands, poised and still, one hand raised as if to toast the sky. Constance has stood in the square for as long as any can remember. And she is never more lifelike than tonight.

  • Lachiusa, Michael John (B
    LaChiusa, Michael John (b. 1962) by Greg Varner Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com In 2004, Michael John LaChiusa was described in an article in The Washington Post as "the most prolific composer in New York during the past 10 or so years." He does not object to the characterization. "I do write a lot," he says. "I enjoy it." Along with Ricky Ian Gordon and a handful of other composers, LaChiusa has been identified as an heir to Stephen Sondheim's brilliant legacy in the American musical theater. LaChiusa frequently creates works that demand intellectual involvement on the part of the auidence; and, like Sondheim's, his works for the musical theater are often described as "operatic." LaChiusa was born July 24, 1962, in Stockwell, New York, where he first began writing songs at the urging of his fourth-grade teacher. While still in his teens, LaChiusa made his way to New York City with the ambition to compose for the theater. He came to early notice in 1993 with First Lady Suite, a look at the hidden lives of presidential wives Jackie Kennedy, Mamie Eisenhower, and Eleanor Roosevelt, whose lesbian lover, Lorena Hickock, figures prominently in the piece. (A revival production of 2002 was recorded for a CD released in 2003.) In 1994, LaChiusa solidified his reputation as a brilliant young composer with Hello Again, a musical suggested by Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde and produced at Lincoln Center with a first-rate cast including John Cameron Mitchell, Donna Murphy, Judy Blazer, and Michele Pawk.

  • Harrington's Pie and Mash Shop 3 Selkirk Road Tooting, London
    Harrington’s Pie and Mash Shop 3 Selkirk Road Tooting, London. Open for business since 1908. RACHEL EDWARDS JENNY GERSTEN SEAVIEW PRODUCTIONS NATE KOCH, Executive Producer FIONA RUDIN BARROW STREET THEATRE JEAN DOUMANIAN REBECCA GOLD “A Customer!” present My name is Rachel Edwards and I am the originating producer of Tooting Arts Club’s Sweeney The Tooting Arts Club production of Todd. On behalf of myself, and my producing partners Jenny Gersten, Greg Nobile, Jana Shea and Nate Koch, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Harrington’s Pie and Mash Shop! In the spring of 1908, number 3 Selkirk Road Tooting, London, became the home of Harrington’s Pie and Mash shop when it was bought by Bertie Harrington and his wife Clara. Little has changed in this tiny Tooting eatery since it first opened for business some 109 years ago. The Harrington fam- ily still run the shop, the original green tiles still adorn the walls and the menu remains unchanged since the days of Queen Victoria. A Musical Thriller Music and Lyrics Book by The idea to stage Sweeney Todd in London’s oldest pie and mash shop was one which I lived with for several years before I dared to say it out loud. It felt too outrageous, too complicated, in essence – it felt impossible. A simple ‘yes’ from Beverley Mason – owner of Harrington’s, and great STEPHEN SONDHEIM HUGH WHEELER grand-daughter of Bertie and Clara – changed everything. Subsequently, an unforgettable collabora- tion was born that set in motion a chain of events that was nothing short of extraordinary.
