Sweeney Todd and the String of Pearls: An Audio Melodrama in Three Despicable Acts by Yuri Rasovsky

3.0

An over the top but thoroughly entertaining dramatic play. If you’re only familiar with the Tim Burton movie musical, this differs a lot — Sweeney Todd is not sympathetic at all, but a true, sniggering villain who kills for greed and tries to rape Joanna. But the heroes get their happily ever after and the villains get their due at the end. Mrs. Lovett is still my favorite character.
