"Sweeney Todd" Cast Serves Up Deliciously Thrilling Performances on Broadway

TL;DR Summary
The new Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd has opened to critical acclaim, with a star-studded cast led by Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford. The production is the first Broadway revival to feature Jonathan Tunick's original orchestration since the 1979 original. The cast and creative team paid tribute to the late Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the music and lyrics for the show, and spoke about the show's relevance in today's world. On the red carpet, Playbill asked the cast what they would taste like as meat pies, drawing from the show's famous song "A Little Priest."
