Man:[singing] Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. His skin was pale and his eye was odd. He shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again. He trod a path that few have trod, Did Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

An 
company.
I have owned a copy fo this for ages now, on video, but will definitely be buying the DVD release.
Angela Lansbury and George Hearne are the unmistakable people to perform these legendary roles.
This is suberb theatre at its peak, what a cast, the entire crew, the staging and the lighting are fantastic, as well as the ensemble who provide the extras in this macabe piece of theater.
The new work with Patti LuPone and George Hearn is nothing in comparison, except for the lush surround sound provided by todays technology.
A must see for any die hard Stephen Sondheim fanatics like me.
