Who doesn't love Sondheim?
One of my favorites: The Worst Pies in London, sung by Patti Lupone:
Sweeney Todd is a fictional character who first appeared as the murderer of the Victorian penny dreadful The String of Pearls (1846–1847).

The tale became a staple of Victorian melodrama. Later it was the subject of a 1959 ballet by English composer Sir Malcolm Arnold and, in 1979, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical by Stephen Sondheim and [[Hugh Wheeler]]. The last-mentioned, by far the best-known 20th Century version of the tale, was adapted for the screen in 2007 as a musical film, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp.

But tonight I have a special treat: the entire 1982 version of Sweeney Todd, directed by Harold Prince and staged on Broadway with Angela Lansbury playing the loopy Mrs. Lovett.
