CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT: Sweeney Todd – The Musical!

MEET MRS LOVETT — THE WOMAN WITH A PLAN
She’s scrappy, witty, resourceful… and maybe just a little unhinged. Mrs. Lovett is the infamous pie-maker whose partnership with Sweeney Todd turns London upside down — with a “special recipe” that changes everything.
Played by Ashleigh Hilton, Mrs. Lovett is brought to life with fire, humour, and razor-sharp wit. Ashleigh is a powerhouse performer and award-nominated designer, known for her bold presence both on and off the stage. With an Honours degree in Dramatic Arts and over 30 productions to her name, she is the resident Set & Costume Designer for Scenario Productions. In this show, she doubles as actor and designer — blending performance with artistry in a way that makes her contribution uniquely layered and essential.
