In a prior interview with leading star Josh Groban, he reminisces about his time enacting the part of the central barber.
“… for me the captivating element in Sweeney Todd was the contrasts: the lovely score paired with the sinisterly funny content, the dark storyline. There’s such a juxtaposition of elegance and grimness in the character, coupled with several of the most extraordinary music and lyrics ever written. It genuinely is nothing but a masterpiece to perform, regardless of the type.”
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street stands as one of Broadway’s most notable accomplishments in the record of musicals, persistently praised across its varied iterations by the Tony, Drama Desk, Olivier, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award-giving institutions.
