Leading theatre makers, including Peter Brook, Robert Lepage, Deborah Warner and Declan Donnellan, plus a return visit from Toneelgroep Amsterdam, will feature in the January-July 2011 installment of the Barbican's year-round bite (Barbican International Theatre Event) season.

Principal casting has been announced for the New York production of Coram Boy, the hit National Theatre production that will begin previews at Broadway's Imperial Theatre April 16.

It has become one of the plum musical showcase roles for veteran actresses, the scheming, desperate yet strangely lovable Mrs. Lovett in Stephen Sondheim's masterwork, Sweeney Todd. The lush and gothic musical has been a mainstay of both regional theatres and opera companies since its 1979 debut, with a recent PBS concert staging only furthering the piece's reputation. Sweeney will enjoy another major staging in May 2002 with yet another major actress stepping into the apron worn by such luminaries as Angela Lansbury and Patti LuPone. In the upcoming Kennedy Center revival, Christine Baranski will co-star opposite Brian Stokes Mitchell's vengeful barber. Though well-known to New York theatre audiences and not a novice to tuners, Baranski isn't usually thought of as a musical-theatre performer. She won two supporting actress Tony Awards for The Real Thing and Rumors, respectively, and also appeared in Hurlyburly and Terrence McNally's Lips Together, Teeth Apart. In recent years she's followed the siren call of television, landing a recurring role on the sitcom "Cybill." Another TV assignment kept her from a planned supporting appearance in the Roundabout's revival of The Man Who Came to Dinner last season (the part went to Jean Smart). The actress does, however, have Sweeney Todd experience, having played Mrs. Lovett opposite Kelsey Grammar in a 1999 concert staging for L.A.'s Reprise! series.
