I've seen one version, but I don't know if it was any of the versions listed at the link.
The version I saw was beyond tedious. Sondheim likes to talk about characters "who don't sing" because they are too repressed. Well, THE SCARLET LETTER, as written by Hawthorne, is about an entire community that doesn't sing.
In the version I saw, the Puritans kept singing monotonous hymns, but talking about evil doings happening in the surrounding woods. And I couldn't help but think, "Why can't we go there? It sounds like much more fun!"
Perhaps somebody has found a way around this problem, but it is inherent to the narrative. So I'm dubious.
