In a prior conversation with leading star Josh Groban, he recalls his experience enacting the character of the title barber.
“… for me the most interesting aspect of Sweeney Todd was the contradictions: the lovely score combined with the sinisterly humorous content, the bleak storyline. There’s such a juxtaposition of elegance and grimness in the role, combined with several of the most extraordinary songs and poetry ever crafted. It truly is nothing short of a masterpiece to perform, regardless of the nature.”
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is one of Broadway’s most notable accomplishments in the record of musicals, persistently applauded throughout its diverse versions by the Tony, Drama Desk, Olivier, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award-giving organizations.
