Call it a Halloween in December.
Repertory Philippines will be staging Sweeney Todd from November 14 to December 13 this year. Veteran stage actor Audie Gemora will play the character of Sweeney Todd, a man who returns to his London village after years in a penal colony, and opens his barbershop as the stage on which to exact his revenge on the judge that raped his wife.
Sweeney Todd was made into a film in 2007 by director Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. They were the same team that gave life to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The musical will be performed by Filharmonika, and will be conducted by renowned conductor Gerard Salonga.
I invite you to watch the musical. By watching the show, you will be able to support the less fortunate as we will be partnering with a charitable organization. Also, ticket holders will have a chance to enter Ascend for an “after party” in Bonifacio High Street for free. Ticket prices are P400, P700, P800 and P 1,000. (P400 and P700 are free seating while P800 and P1,000 are reserved seating).

Thank you for promoting Sweeney Todd. I would just like to make a slight correction. The orchestra performing for Sweeney Todd is called Filharmonika. Thank you.
Hi, Rem! Thanks for the correction.
