Two thoughts: 1. Leonard Bernstein is quoted as saying, "I've never been jealous of another composer's work until I saw Sweeney Todd. 2. I know "I'll steal you Joanna," is a troublesome lyric, but within the context of the story, I'm okay with that. Maybe it's just because I'm an old gay guy.

This production has the best Anthony in my opinion, in comparison to the original 1979 Broadway production, the '81 theatre production with George Hearn, and the 2007 Tim Burton movie (even if the one from the film is my favourite).

Really?....Wow.... i think this Anthony did an awful job. He was having a very hard time finding his notes, his pitch was all over the place, and overall was just not consistent. He needs a lot more practice and maybe even more training. I think everyone else did a great job besides him. Seems like it may be a new role for him, and hes not confident in it. You can hear, see, and feel the confidence radiating from Sweeney and the Begger, i dont get that from Anthony at all.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic so I'm going to try not to spoil Sweeny Todd if you just stumbled across this. Sweeny(the barber) is deported to Australia because the judge wants to be with his wife. When he got back to London his wife had disappeared and he learns his daughter is alive and he hopes that she is like her mother. Her mother had "yellow hair".

Pepper Hume Timothy actually did the role of Sweeney again in 2012 at the Chicago opera receivable, at 71!!! He would’ve been 74 in the 2014 concert, but at least he could nail a G4 (his range actually went all the way to B4) Bryn even struggled to hit the F4 in the end of epiphany. Timothy would’ve been far better here, an older interpretation of Sweeney would’ve been fabulous.
