Title: Brilliant
Review: Sweeney Todd is a musical masterpiece. From its ingenious use of motives to its dark story, Sondheim and Wheeler have crafted a brilliant show. Every performance in this version is note-perfect, especially George Hearn as Sweeney. Some people may find the idea of revenge, murder and cannibalism to be too dark for musical theater, but Sondheim tempers them with show-stoppingly funny musical sequences and some of the most gorgeous music ever written for the stage. There is not a single misstep in this production. Worth a look for any fan of musical theater.
