The upcoming 2012 Olivier Awards, widely acknowledged as the highest honours in British Theatreland, will be broadcast live online at both the Olivier Awards official website and that of BBC Radio 2.  The ceremony is set to be a star-studded affair and will be presented by Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton currently wowing the critics in Sweeney Todd at the Adelphi Theatre.

The main dichotomy at play in Sondheim's musical thriller Sweeney Todd is horror versus humour.  On the one hand, Sondheim was influenced by cinema and intended Sweeney to be almost a staged horror film.  The mere proposition of a serial killer whose victims end up in meat pies is terrifying enough.  On the other hand, the book is filled with black comedy and a lighthearted view of murder, making the intensely dramatic moments all the more poignant.  Any production of Sweeney must balance these juxtaposed elements, luring the audience in with macabre humour before scaring the hell out of us.

Temporarily joining the cast of Sweeney Todd this summer at the Adelphi Theatre is Jason Manford.  He will be replacing Robert Burt from 2nd July to 27th July in the role of Pirelli, the Italian Barber.

The hit US Broadway musical The Book of Morman by South Park creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker is looking set to come to the West End and show us just why they won 9 Tony Awards including Best Musical.

With amazing reviews and and a glowing endorsement from show creator, Stephen Sondheim the Chichester Festival production of Sweeney Todd will make it's West End debut from 10th March at the Adelphi Theatre.
