Sweeney Todd and the String of Pearls: An Audio Melodrama in Three Despicable Acts by Yuri Rasovsky
4.0
It is no secret how much I love Sweeney Todd! The movie is one of my all time favorites, I even own a DVD copy.
So, when I found this as a full-cast audiobook, I had to get it!! And it did not disappoint.
It played like a full-on play, with music and sound effect. Basically, the production was impeccable!
My thing is, I'm not sure 8f I like this version or the movie's better. In the book, we got a happy ending, which worked perfectly with the plot, but in comparison, I think the movie version hit deeper.
The females had bigger, better roles, and all the POV were explored fully. However, Sweeney Todd himself was a plain villain, and not the complex character that i adored.
Overall, I enjoyed this immensely, and would totally recommend it- even if you haven't watched the movie.
