Heartstopper star Joe Locke dishes about his Broadway debut in Sweeney Todd
Heartstopper star Joe Locke has spilt the tea on his upcoming Broadway debut. Back in December, the 20-year-old talent announced that he would be starring in the hit musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. “See you on Broadway, Jan 31st,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a crying emoji.
In addition to Locke’s heartwarming post, the musical’s social media pages confirmed that he would be playing the young apprentice Tobias Ragg.
Since that fateful day, the emerging talent has put all his energy toward preparing for his highly anticipated debut. Fortunately for fans, Locke shared new details about joining the popular musical and his character during an interview with The New York Times.
When reflecting on his journey to Broadway, the young talent revealed that watching Next to Normal on the West End prompted him to ask his agent for a musical role. “I was like, ‘I want to do a musical so bad,'” he told the publication.
