Review by Miguel Maldonado
The Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street Original Cast Recording by Stephen Sondheim, Len Cariou, and Angela Lansbury is a masterpiece that captures the dark and eerie essence of the infamous barber's story. The album features powerful performances by the cast, including the haunting vocals of Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett and the brooding voice of Len Cariou as Sweeney Todd.
The music is a perfect blend of traditional Broadway show tunes and haunting melodies that capture the sinister mood of the story. The lyrics are cleverly written, witty and often chilling, and the music is expertly composed to match the lyrics.
The album's standout tracks include "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," "Pretty Women," and "A Little Priest." Each song is carefully crafted and performed with passion and precision. The orchestra is superbly conducted and adds to the overall atmosphere of the album.

Does anyone know the name of the cast member who sings together with Richard Warren Pugh at 22:20? He has a very low bass voice. It isn't Walter Charles or Lyndeck.

Victor Garber originated Anthony in this original Broadway production. But this looks and sounds like Cris Groenendall as Anthony. Perhaps Garber was sick / understudied by Groenendall this night or Garber left the show before the end of this Broadway run. Groenendall went on as Anthony to the 1980 U.S. touring production - Dorothy Chandler pavilion, Kennedy Center Opera House, etc.

This is THE very first Broadway production I ever saw. Yes, with Angela Lansbury in 1979. It was the very first time I didn't "check around" to see if other people were standing to join in a standing ovation at curtain. I was just automatically up -- only to find everyone else was standing as well!!!

My music helper was in this, she played mrs.mooney :)

Watching for the first time, just a couple months after Angela Lansbury has died. I wish she was still alive, it's good that pieces of her live on through her movies and plays.

I want to meet the hero who snuck a full 1970s video camera into the show

I saw this original production on Broadway, and the audience seemed stunned but not everyone. A woman behind me, at full volume 'Honey, I know I'm supposed to love this and its meant to be a masterpiece, but frankly - I'm bored. Catch you later.'
spiridoncolteaciprian
The Broadway production?? Are you joking?? I saw it twice, and and this is it, but it looked nothing like this.

Still the Greatest Musical of the 20th Century.

R.I.p Angela Lansbury

RIP Angela Lansbury. Glad to see this performance in the original run was captured and uploaded for the appreciation of posterity. Memories indelible from a seat on the center aisle, 8-12 rows from that immensity of a stage, abt a month after the show opened, high school (senior year) trip (back in those days, we did theatre trips a few times a year in jr and sr high school). On the bus home after the show, a busload of geek-nerd 12 grade Humanities students crowd-sourced our memories of the lyrics of A Little Priest to recreate it afresh. The cast was brilliant, the music and book sublimely twisted, and the magnificent Greek chorus had an effect in that setting that is difficult to capture. It was beyond opera, in the best possible way.

RIP Ms. Lansbury, you Broadway LEGEND!!!
