The original 1979 production, which starred Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett, and Len Cariou as Sweeney, won eight Tonys.
He's the new"Demon Barber of Fleet Street" … and Josh Groban just learned how to give a close shave. He actually took barber lessons: "I did! I wanted the shaving community, should they come to this show, to be really impressed," he said.
"You know when you're playing Iago, you don't know you're the bad guy. And so that's always sort of the way that I've viewed Mrs. Lovett: She doesn't think she's bad, she's surviving. Mrs. Lovett at her core is a survivor. And she needs Sweeney Todd, because she's a woman in a man's world." Thomas Kail, the Tony-winning director of"Hamilton," is now directing"Sweeney Todd," just across the street from"Hamilton." Mason asked him,"You directed what's still the best-known show on Broadway, right over there. How does this compare to that?"
She got tips from the show's British choreographer:"Every once in a while he'll be like, 'It's badge. It's badge, not. Badge.' You know, I'm like standing backstage going, 'Badge budge, badge budge, budge.' My little boy hates it. He's like, 'Will you please stop doing your British accident?' And I'm just not correcting him because I think it's too delightful.
