This is from a Rare Southbank Show Special documentary.I don't know if it ever aired.It was made to precede the arrival of the first ever British production of ST in 1980-81.The highlights are large sections of Stephen Sondheim himself discussing the writing of the show from the piano at his home.He details and plays many of the numbers from the score!The Original Director Hal Prince is Featured throughout as well.The London Sweeney is Denis Quilley,and Mrs.Lovett is Played by Sheila Hancock.The Playwright Christopher Bond is also on hand.Enjoy.

Jan 11, 2008 - He is the best musical dramatist. Ever. Look how he takes that scene that became Worst Pies in London and turned it into a song. Some of Bond's lines are in the lyric word for word! My god!
