	Sweeney Todd Review
		If you're imagination isn't up to the task, then once again let me suggest you take yourself off to Stephen Sondheim's version of Sweeney Todd.
		Sweeney, played by Roger L. Stephens, was a bit too sombre for my taste; he sings well, though, and as most of his time is spent singing, there's little to complain of.
		Of course, the main characters in the musical are Sweeney and Mrs.

		For the new Broadway production of “Sweeney Todd,” LuPone and the entire 10-person cast are doubling as the orchestra, which means when they’re not singing and acting, they’re running around playing one of Stephen Sondheim’s darkest and most demanding scores.
		In fact, there is humor in “Sweeney Todd,” despite the fact that its body count rivals “Hamlet.” The first-act showstopper, and one of the greatest numbers in musical theater, is called “Have a Little Priest,” a song that Sweeney and Mrs.

	Stephen Sondheim Stage: Sweeney Todd - Some Ethical Perspectives
		In Sweeney Todd he creates a world which is strongly Hobbesian in its outlook, with echoes of the nihilism of Nietschze and the existentialism of Kierkegaard and others (like Sartre and Beckett).
		Todd's situation calls into question the very nature of justice: Todd, a working-class citizen, was unjustly sent to prison, his wife raped, and his daughter committed to an insane asylum, all by Judge Turpin, the representative of justice and law.
		Sondheim's music is his most Romantic and, conversely, his most disturbing: it includes a gang-rape conducted against a cheerfully dissonant minuet, a hilarious (and now quite famous) duet about cannibalism, a complicated ensemble scene which has the denizens of Fleet Street greedily gorging on Mrs.

	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - Stephen Sondheim/Hugh Wheeler
		Sweeney Todd premiered in 1979 and was a major success, capturing eight Tony Awards.
		Todd's acts may be horrific, but they are solidly motivated and the audience easily identifies with his rage, even as it is shocked by his acting it out.
		At the same time, the blackness of Todd's misanthropy is tempered somewhat by the sweetness of the Johanna/Anthony love story, providing the contrasts of naive innocence and bitter experience, youth and age, idealism and disillusionment.
