    I saw Sweeney Todd once on stage (and saw the Johnny Depp movie, which was OK I guess). It's hard to write a good dark musical but this is definitely that. The story is full of male judges abusing their power and threats of deportation so it is *very* 2023.

    • @ChienaAvtzon
      @ChienaAvtzon ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Josh Groban looking innocent is the entire point, as Sweeney Todd is a subversion of a romantic lead. Benjamin Barker was a loving husband and doting father who’s life was destroyed by a corrupt judge. He returned to London to reunite with his family, only to be told his wife was dead and his daughter held captive. Revenge and anger turned him into a bigger monster than the story’s villain.

    I love Josh Groban, but he's a light lyric baritone and the role of Sweeney was written for a bass baritone (like Len Cariou, George Hearn, and Bryn Terfel - all amazing Sweeneys.) Josh's voice is a little too light, smooth, and warm; he's also a little young for the role. Same with the actress who plays Mrs. Lovett. They're both excellent singers and actors, but their interpretation feels to me like Sweeney Todd Lite.
