DIE CENTURION TEATER TURNS SINISTER WITH SONDHEIM MASTERPIECE
Scenario Productions, in proud partnership with
Die Centurion Teater, is thrilled to announce the spine-tingling cast of Sweeney
Todd – The Musical, the major theatrical event of 2025! From 23 October to 1
November, audiences will be plunged into the eerie underbelly of Victorian London
in this immersive, blood-pumping production of Stephen Sondheim’s legendary
masterpiece.
Directors Tiaan Kirsten-Lubbe and Lian Sachse share: “This isn’t just a musical; it’s
a full-on experience. From the moment audiences step into the theatre, they’ll be
transported to the grimy, gaslit streets of Victorian London.”
They continue: “For Halloween lovers and thrill seekers alike, this is your chance to
embrace the macabre. Our ‘splash zone’ seats are not for the faint of heart, and
we’re even serving freshly baked pies at the on-site restaurant—just maybe don’t
ask about the filling…”
Following a wave of anticipation, Scenario Productions reveals a stellar lineup of
performers ready to bring Fleet Street’s darkest tale to chilling life. Leading the
charge is the formidable and extremely talented Brett Krüger as the vengeful
barber himself, Sweeney Todd, with Ashleigh Hilton (also the show’s Set &
Costume Designer) starring as the cunning and charismatic pie-maker, Mrs.
Lovett.
Joining them are rising stars and powerhouse performers: Kyle Cronjé as the
hopeful and romantic Anthony Hope, Mbali Hlomela as the beautiful and innocent
Johanna, Christian Martinez as the imposing Judge Turpin, Wilf Mahne as the
sinister Beadle, Erich Jordaan as the loyal and tragic Tobias Ragg, Tiaan
Kirsten-Lubbe (also Co-Director) as the flamboyant barber Adolfo Pirelli and
Ntshikeng Matooane as the haunting and mysterious Beggar Woman / Lucy.
The supporting ensemble features a talented collective of dynamic performers
ready to immerse audiences in every note and every scream (In alphabetical
order): Boris Petrenko, Caitlyn Hunkin, Cara-May Drummond, Cayla Simpson,
Elsmarie Serfontein, Erica Weyer, Esethu Mbanjwa, Goitseone DeAngelo
Mogale, Jess van der Merwe, Kalden Berg, Ora Mashigo, and Sibu Khanyile.
This production will be directed by the visionary duo Tiaan Kirsten-Lubbe and
Lian Sachse, with musical direction by Luigia Casaleggio, and design by the
versatile Ashleigh Hilton.
With immersive staging, a hauntingly rich score, and a chilling “splash zone” for
those brave enough to sit close, Sweeney Todd promises an unforgettable night of
murder, madness, and meat pies. Sondheim’s infamous and thrilling masterpiece
right here in Centurion!
