AWARD-winning musical Sweeney Todd arrives at Birmingham's Alexandra Theatre next week.

The inspired production about a demon barber starts on Monday, running until Saturday, April 15.

It stars Jason Donovan, who recently starred in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Harriet Thorpe, who is best know for her role as Carole in the TV series The Brittas Empire.

Set in darkest Victorian London, Sweeney Todd is a mix of comedy, murderous passion and tender young love.

And the winner of eight Tony and Grammy awards comes direct from its current sell-out Broadway success.

Tickets, priced £10-27.50 are available on 0870 6607 7544 or www.getlive.co.uk/birmingham
