Sweeney Todd

Fall 2018

In their first foray into intimate, immersive, and site-specific musical theatre, Chris and the Snapshots Collective team presented Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The show was a massive hit, selling out two weeks before Opening night. 65 audience members crammed into a small Gastown pop-up shop, lovingly titled “Mrs Lovetts Pie Shop”. Fresh made meat and veggie pies were served, with thanks to Vancouver’s own The Pie Hole, and the immersive experience began. When 8pm hit, the door of the shop slammed shut and 17 performers plus 3 musicians began a 3 hour musical theatre masterpiece.

Sweeney Todd was blessed to win 4 Ovation Awards having been nomiated for 9. And was also nominted for 8 Jessie Awards and won 4, including Outstanding Production.
