I was largely disappointed by the imported London revival of "Sweeney Todd" now playing at the entirely reconfigured (as a pie shop) Barrow St Theatre. The cast & singing are uneven. Norm Lewis is too one note as Sweeney and lacks the needed chemistry with the much more adept Carolee Carmello as Mrs. Lovett. This rendition pales in comparison to the best "Sweeney" productions I have seen. The direction and acting styles were also too broad and "British music hall" style for my taste.
