	Sweeney Todd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the tale, Todd was tried at the Old Bailey and hanged at Tyburn in January 1802, before a large crowd.
		In 1936 a film version of this story was made, called Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, starring Tod Slaughter in the title role and produced in a lurid, melodramatic style reminiscent of the era of silent films.
		The phrase "Sweeney Todd" is also Cockney rhyming slang for the Flying Squad, giving rise to the shortened form "The Sweeney" (the British 1970's Thames Television TV police show The Sweeney took the name from this form).

	Musical review: Sweeney Todd \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		More Brecht than Broadway, Stephen Sondheim's musical thriller about the barber unjustly transported to Australia who returns 15 years later to find his wife driven to her death and his daughter the ward of the evil, lecherous judge who sentenced him, is not what you'd call a jolly night out.
		Sweeney himself is, of course, that fascinating figure: the victim turned predator.
		Sweeney serenades his razors as if he has just been reunited with a long lost lover and his murders are conducted to the sweetest, most heart-aching, melody.

	MTG's Sweeney Todd is delightfully gruesome
		THE MUSICAL THEATER GUILD opened its fall season with Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a morbid, but intriguing, tale about Todd, the fastest, closest shaver in all of London (and not a bad murderer either), and his delightfully amoral landlady, Mrs.
		Todd's motives are easy to understand: he has a wrong to revenge.
		Also, since the chorus, as the ghosts of Todd's victims, is painted in greenish-gray makeup and tends to stare stonily, their scenes have a morbid, heavy tone, which is somewhat deadening.

		Taken from a 19th century British legend, Sweeney Todd tells the story of a barber who returns to London after a long (and false) imprisonment to seek revenge on the cruel judge who sentenced him to jail, and who stole his wife and daughter in the process.
		His music has never been richer than it is here, his lyrics never more insightful or soulful, and his finely-honed sense of rhyme is sharpened like the finest of razor blades.
		Wheeler’s book—one of Broadway’s finest—also deserves mention for effortlessly juggling several complicated subplots (which include the potential rescue of Sweeney’s daughter by a lovestruck sailor, the nagging presence of a ubiquitous beggar woman, and the appearance of a rival Italian barber and his simpleton sidekick), and striking the perfect balance of dialogue and song.

		Meanwhile, Anthony Hope, a sailor who saved Todd's life, falls in love with Todd's estranged daughter, Johanna, who is being brought up as the ward — and unwilling bride — of the vulturous Judge Turpin.
		Courtesy of Sondheim's pathfinding brilliance, Sweeney Todd is musical theater for those who say they don't like musical theater; simultaneously, it's an essential masterwork for longtime fans of the form.
		Directional tricks are sensitively restrained, with the music and dialogue shouldered well by the front speakers while the satellites offer enough support and audience applause for that "you are there" experience.

		Len Cariou as Sweeney Todd may feel a bit underpowered at times, but it all goes to underscore the differences between the Todd character's outward appearances and inward struggle.
		While his music is certainly complex (bordering on chaotic), he has yet to evoke any emotion or passion in his music.
		A puppet to the whimsy of those around him, Todd's mental instability rears its ugly head in the form of murder when he elects to dispose of those who take a seat in his chair for a shave and haircut.
