See it if If you like Sondheim and in particular Sweeney Todd, this is an engrossing production that is more intimate than previous productions.
Don't see it if You hate Sondheim or don’t want to be “up close” to the action.
See it if you want to see the best darn prod. of SWEENEY that has ever been done in NY. Told so clearly with humor while maintaining its dark side.
Don't see it if If you want big productions numbers and don't like intimate settings with environmental staging. It will be your loss.
See it if You enjoy an entire play sung. Small intimate experience with some interaction with actors. Play is intense and actors devoted to it.
Don't see it if You want grand staging and elaborate scenery. The singing is the main star and the actors sang beautifully. An intimate theatrical event
See it if If you like the legend Patti Lu Pone on stage. She is magnificent. Casting, staging, direction all excellent. Songs and acting very entertai
Don't see it if if you are not into the story or if a baroque musical is not for you.

Don't see it if you don't like Sondheim's music and murder story!
See it if you want to see Patti LuPone at her demented, diabolical best - Michael C was incredible too. Great original take on a classic!
Don't see it if you don't enjoy dark comedy.
See it if You want to see a very different version of Sweeney Todd, even if you disliked other productions.
Don't see it if You're not interested in darker musicals.
See it if You enjoy Sondheim, and dark musicals, or if you liked the movie (this is much better.) It's a riveting revenge tale, w/dollops of humor
Don't see it if Thriller elements in shows are not your idea of a good time
