More about the book
Aimed at young performers, this adaptation of a classic Victorian melodrama incorporates humor and silliness, featuring characters like Queen Victoria. It includes comedic elements such as Mrs. Lovett's automated pie-making machine, a chaotic madhouse scene, and a police chase that engages the entire cast. While retaining the essence of the original storyline, the focus shifts to slapstick and physical theatre, making it feel more like a 'Carry On' film than a traditional Sondheim musical. The play accommodates a large, flexible cast.
