Book Reviews of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Applause Musical Library)
Book Review: A little disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I though this would be a book version of the musical, but instead it is just the script of the musical. Book Review: Sick, sick, sick!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I must say that this book lived up to everything I had ever heard about it. I don't think I have ever read a more disgusting account of madness in my life. It will be interesting to see how it comes out as a movie, as the story in print form drags on and on with huge gaps of dull nothingness between throat cuttings and meat grinding. Hopefully it will make a better movie than it does a book.Book Review: An Absolutely Thrilling Piece!
Summary: 5 Stars
Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd makes sure that the man will rank with the best musical theater composers as well as the best classical composers. His eclectic, thrilling score for Sweeney Todd includes patter songs for the wonderful Mrs. Lovett, incredible arias for Sweeney Todd and romantic ballads for the young lovers. Although it is priced at $100.00, it is nearly 400 pages long and includes every note of music in the show as well as plently of dialouge that is incoroporated into musical scenes. Book Review: Sondheim's Best.
Summary: 5 Stars
It was so wonderful to buy this book and to have the entirity of the musical right at my finger tips word for word. It's truly one of the best musicals ever concocted and Sondheim is a genius. I reccomend this to everyone whose a fan of the show.. if you're not familiar with the show, it might seem a little strange to you..Book Review: The pinnacle of Sondheim's Art
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1979, Stephen Sondheim had a long and illustrious career on the Broadway stage, with "Company", "Follies", and "A Little Night Music" to his credit. "Sweeney Todd" capped that career with an extraordinarily inspired score, ably seconded by Hugh Wheeler's insightful and clever book. A triumph on all counts.
