BWW Review: THE BEGGAR'S OPERA at Grand Théâtre
Luxembourg has welcomed a variety of interesting shows over the last months, but it has been a while since the public had a chance to see something as great as this version of The Beggar's Opera. This famous masterpiece devised by John Gay and Johann Christoph Pepuschm, who some claim to have defined our modern understanding of musical theatre, is often subject to small adaptations, in order to better fit a certain decade or national context. In this version, Robert Carsen and Ian Burton made the choice to set the play in modern Britain, using 21st century costumes and writing references to today's social and political environment.

SOUND OFF: Sweeney Todd con Michael Ball e Imelda Staunton
Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street sigue causando conmoción allà por donde pasa. Mundialmente reconocida como una de las obras maestras de Stephen Sondheim, este thriller musical protagonizado por el temible barbero y su fiel (y peligrosamente adorable) Mrs. Lovett está de doble enhorabuena.

Sondheim Grants Approval for Michael Ball & Imelda Staunton Led SWEENEY TODD for Broadway
Now, Baz Bamigboye of the UK Daily Mail has revealed that 'Stephen Sondheim has given director Jonathan Kent's Chichester Festival Theatre production of Sweeney Todd (with Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton delivering the stage performances of their lives) his seal of approval. He'd love the two stars to take the deliciously grisly musical to Broadway when they complete their run at the Adelphi Theatre. There's no official word this will happen yet, because both actors have crazy schedules, but it would be fantastic if they did manage to cross the Atlantic with this Sweeney.'
