I agree about this current tour of Sweeney Todd. I really disliked it. I wasn't convinced that David Hess was really evil enough to kill a bunch of people. The Mrs. Lovett was really good though.
^From what I know about Sweeney Todd is that there are two kinds of shows. One is like the traditional broadway kind of play and another where the characters play the instruments on stage.
While the latter sounds clever, I'd prefer to see the former. And I really really want to, too.
Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd = Gold and a half!
