Title says all. (part 3 of 3) Posted in response to Norina1982's excellent clips of the 2001 performance in its entirety. As quoted from Norina1982's videos: "The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra's 2001 concert production of Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", a musical thriller of revenge and romance set in Victorian England. Features Broadway diva Patti LuPone as Mrs. Lovett and veteran stage actor George Hearn in the title role. Also, Davis Gaines as Anthony Hope and Lisa Vroman as Johanna. Neil Patrick Harris ~ Tobias Ragg (No, he did not play Toby in the OBC or 1982 video - that was Ken Jennings and he's 60-ish years old now) Timothy Nolen ~ Judge Turpin Victoria Clark ~ Beggar Woman John Aler ~ Beadle Bamford Stanford Olsen ~ Signor Adolfo Pirelli"
