TL;DR

The Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, directed by Thomas Kail and starring Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford, is a prodigious theatrical event that aims for greatness and achieves it. The flawless 25-member cast, led by Groban and Ashford, makes the case that Sweeney just might be Sondheim’s greatest work. The set design, costumes, lighting, and sound design are impeccable, and the musical numbers rank among Sondheim’s greatest. The large cast is without a weak link, and the production is as particular as it is sweeping, and as captivating in sight as it is magnificent in sound.
