Movie Reviews of Sweeney Todd in Concert
Movie Review: I loved it. . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read all of the comments on this DVD I just felt like I had to put in my oar. I loved this version to me dispite the lack of costumes or props this is the prefect version. I loved George Hearn in the role of Sweeney. Neil Patrick Harris was cute and so pathtic. But the real star in this show for me was Patti Lupone in the role of Mrs. Lovett, she was very funny and her voice is wonderful. I saw the other version but it didn't really hold up for me. The thing i really loved about the virsion is that pretty much every one (well not Joanna) was a good actor, and it is a joy to watch them.
Movie Review: Exceptional
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this version of the show. I saw it live in SF and was delighted to catch it on PBS and now on DVD. The singing and performances are excellent. I have the DVD of the original as well and have heard Angela Lansbury is legendary. While I really loved Angela Lansbury I felt Patti LuPone brought a realness to the role that was funny and entertaining and much more preferrable. George Hearn is exceptional as well as Neil Patrick Harris. The orechestra is fantastic and this show is as close to perfect a production as I have seen.Movie Review: Sweeny Todd in Concert

Sweeney Todd in Concert
I have the original Angela Lansbury version as well as the most
recent movie version on DVD and I greatly prefer this one. Although
you may find the staging much different than you expect (the singers
are distributed thoughout the orchestra and move on platforms) it
turn out to be the most watchable of the versions and has the best
voices.
Movie Review: Sweeney Todd
Summary: 5 Stars
The entire production is great. I bought it because I am familiar with one of the cast members. Tim Nolen, who appears as the Judge in this production, has developed into a superb artist since I recall him from our college days. He had the lead role for six months after Crawford left the show of The Phantom of the Opera. We sang duets as Trenton State music students back in the early sixties, and he was terrific then as a vocalist. I'm so happy for his success. Go Tex!

Movie Review: wwonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a lucky fellow back in 1980 when I took a trip to New York and "accidently" got to see Sweeney Todd with Angela Landsbury and George Herne in the title roles! What an incredible show. I again saw the touring version in San Francisco which wasn't nearly as good but still a thrill. This DVD does a great justice to the original and, although I miss Angela, Ms. Lapone does a great job. I highly recommend this DVD and only hope that the original show will be reissued someday soon.
