Michael Ball, Britain's leading musical star and actress Imelda Staunton talk to Sean about their upcoming performances in Stephen Sondheim's 'Sweeney Todd' at the Chichester Festival Theatre. Sondheim's compelling musical of corruption and revenge is commonly acknowledged as his masterpiece.

Neil has been accompanying silent films for over 25 years and performs some of his own compositions live in the In Tune studio.
