Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Broadway)

See it if Having seen every NYC production of Sweeney since its original opening, this was by far the best. It was Sondheim's favorite, too.

Don't see it if You don't like Sondheim (impossible to imagine), suspense or counterpoint.

See it if you want to see one of Stephen Sondheim's best plays.

Don't see it if you don't like gore and blood.

Also Here she comes again, the great Patti Lupone singing and acting like nobody does. This is one of her strongest performances on Broadway. Her role was also played by Angela Landsburry.
It can be one my favorite soundtracks, the characters are incredible. There was a movie by Tim Burton and Johhny Depp.... Read more Read less

See it if You are a fan of Sondheim's "horror opera". The usually massive cast is pared down to 8 performers. So glad I didn't miss this one.

Don't see it if You have no interest in seeing a musical about a murderous vengeful barber and meat pies made from his victims.

Also Carolee Carmello and Norm Lewis have NEVER been better. I'll never see Sweeney Todd the same way again.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy the story

Don't see it if You get sick at the sight of blood!

See it if you want to see a Bdway classic in an up close, brilliant, clever, dressed-down production that you will never forget. Fantastic cast.

Don't see it if you don't like Sondheim and can't get over it. Miss it at your peril!

Also Carolee Carmello is giving the finest performance of her career. It is a shame she had never been given an opportunity like this 20-25 years ago. She would be the reigning queen of Broadway today. Norm Lewis and Matt Doyle are sensational. The entire cast (only 7) does this great musical work proud.
I will be going back in a few months.... Read more Read less
