Atlantis Theatrical has revealed the full cast and creative team for its upcoming production of “Sweeney Todd.”

Joining previously announced cast members Jett Pangan (Sweeney Todd), Lea Salonga (Mrs. Lovett), Gerald Santos (Anthony Hope), Ima Castro (the Beggar Woman), Andrew Fernando (Judge Turpin), and Nyoy Volante (Adolfo Pirelli) are Mikkie Bradshaw-Volante as Johanna, Luigi Quesada as Tobias, Arman Ferrer as Beadle, and Dean Rosen as Jonas Fogg.

Completing the ensemble are Steven Conde, Sarah Facuri, Christine Flores, Jep Go, Kevin Guiman, and Emeline Celis Guinid.

The musical will be directed by Atlantis Theatrical’s Artistic Director Bobby Garcia, with set design by David Gallo, musical direction by Gerard Salonga (accompanied by the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra), costume design by Rajo Laurel, choreography by Cecile Martinez, lighting design by Aaron Porter, hair and make-up design by Leslie Espinosa, vocal direction by Manman Angsico, and sound design by Justin Stasiw.

“We have gathered quite the cast for this retelling of Stephen Sondheim’s classic musical thriller,” says Garcia. “I think we will be bringing to the stage a unique version of ‘Sweeney Todd’, as told by some of the best musical theatre storytellers in the country, led by Lea Salonga and Jett Pangan. I am also so excited to be collaborating with a creative team full of geniuses in their craft. I can’t wait to begin.”

“Sweeney Todd” is the final production in Atlantis’ 20th Anniversary Season. It was preceded by “Angels in America: Millennium Approaches”, “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical”, and the launch of the company’s new division Atlantis Imaginarium Young Theatre (AIYT) with its premiere production “Madagascar – A Musical Adventure”.   

Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s “Sweeney Todd” celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. It won 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, when it opened on Broadway in 1979, as well as the Oliver Award for Best New Musical in 1980. The Broadway revival went on to win two more Tony Awards.

The musical will run from October 11 to 27, 2019 at The Theatre at Solaire. The production will also be moving to Singapore after the Manila engagement.
