Customer Reviews

Oh, my, give me a piece of pie.

The story of the unexpected return of a convict barber, Benjamin Barker alias Sweeney Todd (George Hearn), who is a cut above the average barber, and his relationship to a talented meat pie baker, Mrs. Nellie Lovett (Angela Lansbury). Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; Book by Hugh Wheeler; Based on a version of "Sweeney Todd" by Christopher Bond. The intrigue in this made-for-TV program is not so much the storyline as how it is executed. There are some great Stephen Sondheim musical pieces and excellent actors, such as Edmund Lyndeck, who plays Judge Turpin, the judge who falsely convicted Benjamin Barker. You feel as if you are in a live audience and find yourself shouting out, "Do not do that to those intending to be well-groomed."
