"The horrific ending explained the tragedy’s motivation more clearly than either Opera North or the professional touring company at the Wycombe Swan some years back. Sweeny Todd is a tale of injustice and fixation on revenge." - Bucks Free Press
"Richard Reece, in the title role, portrayed this multi-sided character superbly - sometimes sensible, then deranged, able to generate real tension as he shaved his planned victim (the Judge) and then capable of romping away in comic numbers. Similarly Sharon Pidgeon’s failing pie maker, Mrs Lovett, made a believable character out of the bizarre, almost sick humour."
... strongly recommended.
