Anthony Warlow and Gina Riley star in the grisly and entertaining theatrical event of the year. TEG Life Like Company proudly brings Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s masterful musical thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street to Sydney and Melbourne for a limited season in June 2019.

 

Sweeney Todd (Anthony Warlow), an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett (Gina Riley), the resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber shop.

 

Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up…and the carnage has only just begun!

Just announced, Anthony Warlow and Gina Riley will be joined in this production by musical theatre icon Debra Byrne, the incredibly talented Michael Falzon and international opera star, Daniel Sumegi. The full company line-up for Sweeney Todd is outlined below.

 

TEG Life Like Company is thrilled to celebrate this Tony Award-winning show’s 40th anniversary in 2019 with a gruesome and ghoulish new production. This theatrical tour de force plays a strictly limited season at the Darling Harbour Theatre, ICC Sydney and Her Majesty’s Theatre, Melbourne in June 2019.

Starring
Sweeney Todd
Anthony Warlow

Anthony has been thrilling audiences with his versatility from the moment he arrived on the theatrical scene. From his debut with the Australian Opera in Benjamin Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1980, he has left an indelible stamp on the industry both at home and abroad.

 

Anthony’s lengthy stage credits include the London National Theatre production of Guys and Dolls in 1986 in which he made his musical theatre debut as Sky Masterson, creating the role of Enjolras in the Australian production of Les Miserables (1988), and the title role of the Phantom in Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera (1990 and 2007-2008). In 1995 he enjoyed a joyous season as Archie Craven in Lucy Simon’s The Secret Garden, and collaborated with her again in 2010 creating the role of Dr Yurii Zhivago in the Australian premiere production of Doctor Zhivago. He enjoyed two Australian tours of Annie in 2000 and 2012, seasons with Opera Australia, and a critically acclaimed performance as Tevye in Fiddler On The Roof.

 

Anthony made his Broadway debut in 2013 portraying the iconic role of Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks in the 35th Anniversary production of Annie, directed by James Lapine. His performance won him several Broadway nominations, and in 2015 he was invited to return to the US to reprise his performance as Miguel De Cervantes/ Don Quixote for the Shakespeare Theatre Company of Washington production of Man of La Mancha. This performance won him the prestigious Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical. Later that year Anthony replaced Kelsey Grammer in the Broadway production of Finding Neverland, playing the roles of Charles Frohman and Captain Hook.

 

Anthony made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2013 but is no stranger to the concert platform, with performances around Australia performing with our Symphony Orchestras. His studio recordings have spanned more than 20 years and include solo albums, cast recordings and live performances in concert and with Opera Australia.

 

He has been honoured by the nation as ‘National Living Treasure’, a title he wears with pride. Anthony’s outstanding achievements have also been acknowledged with his investiture as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his services to the performing arts.
