Having seen the original Broadway and subsequent revivals in NYC and LA, I must say that "Sweeney" never ceases to thrill - scored and written brilliantly. My only complaint with this particular 2-disc set (this was a replacement to an earlier 2-disc set) is that the libretto is not included.

I absolutely love the original Broadway recording. It contains all of the music from the play featuring the amazing talents of Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou, the original Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd. 10 times better than the movie soundtrack!

I thought this CD would come with lyrics but apparently it doesnt...... Still, I love the music. I'm simply disappointed about not having lyrics booklet included in the CD.

As a big Sweeney Todd fan, I believe I have all the recordings of it.
In my opinion, this one is the gold standard.
I not saying that the other versions are not good, I'm just saying that this one is my favorite.

Sweeny Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street - Reviewed on 2008-02-15

I saw the movie with Johnny Depp. It was great and wanted to buy the sound track. Mentioned wanting to buy it to the theatre director where I go to see college plays. They do a great job there and the director told me that the Broadway version is better, so I took his word for it and bought this one and he was right! The musical score from the movie is good too. It's all a matter of personal taste. The music is very pretty and the singers are very good. If a person didn't know what this was about, and just heard the music and liked musicals or light opera, they would love the songs. Very lovely.
