Hit: 2 Stars
Honestly, I don't think that this new production of "Sweeney" works. I miss the dark, lush, sweeping, creep orchestrations of the original. As far as casting, this cast isn't nearly as good. Angela Lansbury is far more convincing and funny as Mrs. Lovett than Patti LuPone. Michael Cerveris is too young to play Sweeney, but he sure tries. The rest of the cast is fine, I guess. No matter what the critics say, this production of "Sweeney Todd," and its cast recording leaves a lot to be desired, and no, it isn't nearly as good as the original, nor is it as thrilling.
