Agree wholeheartedly with your review. For what it got right, Sweeney left me a empty not only for what it got wrong, but all the missed opportunites. Frankly, a musical this brilliant deserved a better rendering. For the man who remade Willy Wonka (sacrilege!), I find it ironic that hopefully, within in my lifetime, somebody will remake Burton's Todd and give it the proper spark it desires.
My wife and I thought Baz Luhrman would have been a much, much better choice for this... pity.
