This is honestly one of my favorite productions of Sweeney Todd!!! The interactions between all the characters sold me. They really upped the humor, too, which I always appreciate!

The amount of money I would pay for a full recording... Brian Stokes Mitchell is an amazing Sweeney Todd.

[@holly9096]

I agree! I do have the full recording, but in caution I've decided not to upload it... There are a few clips of him if you just search for them here on YT. Is there a scene/number you want to see specifically? I could upload it

@@holly9096 hi, could you, please, upload Johanna Mea Culpa from this version?

[@AntiSocialExtrovert323]

@@holly9096omg did you end up doing this???

[@VidRackoff]

The guy describing in detail how he wanted his shave to be is such a funny bit.

[@eldercunninghamirl]

I also agree with the thing about upping the humor in the description. I always like productions of Sweeney Todd that are more “campy” than actually trying to be scary

This has got to be my favorite part of this show. And it's SUCH a great show. "Mischief, mischief!"

[@elizabethpower7897]

This is one of the best versions of this song, and I’m glad that you have a video of just this part by itself and I don’t have to keep scrolling through the video of the whole thing! Thanks

[@holly9096]

Such an underrated cast. Glad to have made things easier for you!

[@eldercunninghamirl]

Shes pretty for a beggar woman but honestly her face isnt even that messy or obscured how would he not recognize his wife

[@juliasings6131]

Oh man I just discovered this production and it's amazing!

[@jws1272]

Is that Hugh Panaro as Anthony? (The Longest-Term Phantom of All?)

[@holly9096]

Yes!

[@anhw3303]

Hi, I saw this production in 2002! I have videos to trade for the full one of this. The current Sweeney with Josh Groban? Something else…? :) Let me know!

[@pikkushi3371]

[@TheContessa52]

George Hearn can rest easy. He is still King Sweeney

[@MrsRosencranz1]

No I'm afraid that was Len.

[@zaheerahshareef8131]

The gentleman playing Sweeney Todd has a magnificent voice sounds like Paul Roberson
