Review: Repertory Philippines’ Sweeney Todd

When I heard that Repertory Philippines was staging Sweeney Todd here, I was very excited. I loved Tim Burton’s 2007 film adaptation, which starred some of my favorite actors (Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Alan Rickman). So when I found out my old college org, Ateneo Celadon, was getting one of the shows, I didn’t hesitate to get tickets. I was finally able to watch Repertory Philippines’ performance of Sweeney Todd last Saturday. And I have to say, it was pretty darn epic.
