About Sweeney Todd on Broadway

Attend the tale.

For the first time since 1980, Broadway audiences will experience Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award®–winning score as it was performed in the original production—with Jonathan Tunick’s classic 26-player orchestration on an epic scale. Tony Award–winning director Thomas Kail (Hamilton) helms the return of this musical thriller starring Tony and Grammy® nominee Josh Groban (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) as Sweeney Todd, and Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford (Sunday in the Park With George, Kinky Boots) as Mrs. Lovett. Tony winner Alex Lacamoire (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen) reunites with Kail as Music Supervisor, and Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Once, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) choreographs this new production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Choreography, Great writing, Great singing, Great staging, Absorbing

See it if One of the best Broadway productions of Sweeney Todd. Outstanding Director, choreography, Lighting /Sound, Sets & Cast.

Don’t see it if Josh Groban has a beautiful voice however he was the weakest link in this amazing production. Groban’s acting skills are mediocre at best.

Fully realized revival of sond's best musical, Macabre tale of revenge

See it if the whole pkg: replete w black humor & wildly entertaining; best sung Sweeney/JGroban; brilliantly hilarious & touching Mrs. Lovett/AAshford

Don’t see it if little innovation except choreo w mixed results; some may find Groban's Sweeney underwhelming; don't sit 2 close 2 raised stage
