Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Applause Libretto Library) Details
Book by Hugh WheelerIntroduction by Christopher Bond“Mr. Sondheim fearlessly explores psychic caverns where civilized people are not dying to go ... A naked Sweeney Todd stands revealed as a musical of naked rage, chewing up everyone in its path as it spits out blood and tears.” – Frank Rich, The New York Times • “A work of such scope and such daring that it dwarfs every other Broadway musical that even attempts to invite comparison.” – Rex Reed, New York Daily News
Reviews
I absolutely love this musical. I plan to see it two times this week at the Kavinoky Theatre. It will be my fourth time seeing it performed live. I saw this version with Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou on our local PBS station in the 1970s.What this script does is help you sing along with the right words versus those you made up due to the strong British accents ☺. I own the DVD of this version as well as the CD. I often sing parts on any given day. I listen in the car and I've downloaded the CD onto my Kindle Fire so I can listen wherever I am.
