NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"ONLY a few days after Halloween - a holiday, the horror movies tell us, that brings out the beast in the criminally insane - the inmates have indeed taken over the asylum. Brace yourself. They're putting on one helluva show.
Sweet dreams, New York. The thrilling new revival of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," which opened last night at the Eugene O'Neill Theater in a production starring Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone, burrows into your thoughts with the poisoned seductiveness of a campfire storyteller who knows what really scares you. John Doyle, the show's ferociously inventive director and designer, has aimed his hypnotic interpretation of this 1979 musical at the masochistic child in everyone, the squirming tyke who wants to have his worst fears confirmed and dispelled in one breath."
