"Sweeney Todd is not just next month's cocktail party conversation–it will be talked about for years. This is sensationally entertaining theatre. Simply great." –Clive Barnes, New York Post "There is very little in Sweeney Todd that is not, in one way or another, a display of extraordinary talent. There is more artistic energy, creative personality and plain excitement than in a dozen average musicals." –Richard Eder, New York Times
