Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd

Once again, audiences on Broadway are attending the tale of Sweeney Todd, Stephen Sondheim's musical masterpiece, which first shocked audiences back in 1979. This innovative revival shifts the setting of the musical from the streets of Victorian London to an insane asylum. Another strange thing: there is no orchestra. As the actors perform the story for each other, they play all the instruments. Cast members Manoel Felciano and Alexander Gemignani stopped by Studio 360 to chat with Kurt Andersen and perform two of the show's songs.
