Was the "small, flamboyantly dressed angry man" who represents Sweeney Todd on the original album cover created for the show, or does he predate the play? I know his accompanying Lovett caricature is original, due to its resemblance to Angela Lansbury, but I've seen the Sweeney caricature show up in a number of other places, always without the razor, as a piece of kitsch Victoriana. (Notably, he's on a Collective Soul album cover.)
I just saw an interesting woodcutting from a Ren Faire featuring the caricature, and while I missed the opportunity to buy it, I was left wondering: does that image predate the Broadway show, or has it seeped into public consciousness since then?
