Summary: Sondheim's Sweeney
Comment: Sweeney Todd is an amazing musical full of richness and passion. Everything that Sondheim expresses teaches you something about life. It is a deep musical and therefore having the book makes the understanding of it much easier. Sondheim's riddles and word games are fascinating and invigorating.
This book is a MUST HAVE for all true Sondheim fans and for any Opera or Broadway fan. It's wonderful to use when performing in recitals and fun to have to refer to. It's a wonderful book and musical. And I, Joanna, was named after it. "I feel you Johanna and one day I'll steal you!"
Enjoy!!

Summary: Magnificent score of a magnificent show
Comment: "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is, at one and the same time, one of the best musicals ever written and one of the best operas of the 20th Century. The story, which has been adapted and re-adapted over and over again since its first appearance in the 1830s (as a serial thriller called "The String of Pearls"), concerns a homicidal barber and his landlady, who, er, disposes of the bodies through her meat pie shop. In this version, Sweeney Todd is a tragic antihero, driven to insanity by the misfortunes heaped upon him by people with much power and no scruples. The story is tight and dramatic, both the music and libretto are superb, and the ensemble style of the chorus offers solos, chamber groups, as well as full-chorus numbers.

This edition of the vocal score is taken straight from the composer's score, offering a clean, clear representation of Sondheim's intentions. Voice parts and solo lines are clearly and consistently marked, and there are very few awkward page-turns. Best of all, and this is all but unique among scores for Broadway shows, THIS SCORE CONTAINS ALL THE DIALOGUE. This is the complete opera, with all of Sondheim's score and all of Wheeler's book.

To put it simply, this is a must-have for all devotees of opera and/or musicals.
