During a previous discussion with leading star Josh Groban, he reflects on his experience enacting the character of the central barber.
“… for me the most interesting aspect of Sweeney Todd was the contradictions: the captivating score combined with the ominously humorous content, the dark storyline. There’s such a juxtaposition of elegance and grimness in the character, coupled with many of the most extraordinary music and lyrics ever written. It genuinely is nothing short of a masterpiece to present, regardless of the nature.”
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street stands as one of Broadway’s most outstanding achievements in the record of musicals, consistently acclaimed across its diverse iterations by the Tony, Drama Desk, Olivier, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award-giving institutions.
