Music Review: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Original Cast

This is the C.D. of the original cast which featured Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou.  I cannot get enough of the song "Johanna" with its moving notes and melody.  It is sung by Victor Garber.  This music and lyrics is written by Stephen Sondheim.  I have had difficulty with watching the movie because it is so graphic.  taking the musical in this manner is much more enjoyable.  The reprise adding Sweeney Todd is also wonderful.  It also adds the crazy lady (Merle Luise).  Turns out she is the most sane of all.  The other song I really enjoy is "Pretty Women" which Sweeney Todd sings with the judge (Edmund Lyndeck).
