I just found the original 1980 South Bank Show Sweeney Todd documentary thing on YouTube--just search "Sondheim south bank show", and you'll find it below the new special.

The title is intentionally misleading, with a disclaimer in the actual post.

Though to add, he also mentions the musicals in the same conversation as a response to "good" musicals on Broadway. So I think it is more than just the 'public perception'.


So basically, you wanted a provocative title to convince people to open your thread, only to see that you were pretty much lying. Or at the very least, make very generous assumptions based on very little evidence.

And no, "better than jukebox musicals" is not the same as him saying he believes it's a good musical. That's like saying Next to Normal is better than drilling a cavity without novocaine- anything would be "good" compared to that.

Glad we're on the same page.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.
