Nonesuch released the cast album from the current critically
acclaimed Broadway production of Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber
of Fleet Street with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim in
January 2006. Originally produced in 1979 Sweeney Todd had not
been seen on Broadway in more than 16 years. Tony Award winners
Patti LuPone (Evita) and Michael Cerveris (Assassins) lead the
ten-person cast as Mrs. Lovett Tuba Percussion and Sweeney
Todd Guitar. The record was produced by Tommy Krasker
Directed and designed by John Doyle with music supervision and
orchestrations by Sarah Travis Sweeney Todd received numerous
accolades since its opening at the Eugene O Neill Theater in
October 2005. The New York Times Anthony Tommasini says
Whatever Ms. Travis s scoring loses in strength it gains in
subtlety. Mr. Sondheim s curious contrapuntal inner voices come
through vividly which brings out the music s transfixing
strangeness. Also because the balances favor the singers Mr
Sondheim s ingenious lyrics leap off the stage at you. Though I
will never tire of hearing [Jonathan] Tunick s remarkable
orchestration on the original cast album I find Ms. Travis s
work revelatory
Rounding out the cast which is entirely composed of
musicianactors who also act as the orchestra are: John Arbo
(Jonas Fogg Bass) Donna Lynne Champlin (Pirelli Accordion
Piano Flute) Diana DiMarzio (Beggar Woman Clarinet) Manoel
Felciano (Tobias Violin Clarinet Piano) Alexander Gemignani
(The Beadle Piano Trumpet) Mark Jacoby (Judge Turpin
Trumpet Percussion) Benjamin Magnuson (Anthony Cello Piano)
and Lauren Molina (Johanna Cello). The Sweeney Todd book was
written by Hugh Wheeler from an adaptation by Christopher Bond
Sweeney Todd is based on the 19th-century legend of a London
barber who is driven to crime when a malevolent judge takes his
wife and child from him. His plan for revenge includes a
cutthroat partnership with Mrs. Lovett an enterprising
businesswomen who is soon producing the tastiest meat pies in
London
