But
Jersey Girl isn't
Sweeney Todd, it's Kevin Smith's mutilation of
Sweeney Todd. An affectionate mutilation, I'm sure, but still.
Seriously, if you intend to listen to Sondheim start with something relatively accessible-
Company if you can deal with the very 70s orchestrations, or maybe
Into the Woods.
A Little Night Music,
Follies, and
Sweeney Todd are his masterworks, so those are good, too.
And the comments on that entry are brilliant, too. Especially when they talk about bad doctor names. My stomach hurts from laughing.
