The hit Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd playing at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre recently announced a cast recording will be released later this year. While a release date has still yet to be announced, a preview of the upcoming recording can now be streamed. Listen to Josh Groban and the cast of Sweeney Todd perform the musical’s opening number below.
Nominated for eight Tony Awards, Sweeney Todd stars Tony and Grammy nominee Josh Groban and Tony Award winner Annaleigh Ashford as Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett, respectively, alongside Jordan Fisher as Anthony, Gaten Matarazzo as Tobias, Tony Award winner Ruthie Ann Miles as Beggar Woman, Maria Bilbao as Johanna, Jamie Jackson as Judge Turpin, John Rapson as Beadle Bamford, Nicholas Christopher as Pirelli/Standby for Sweeney Todd, and Jeanna de Waal as Standby for Mrs. Lovett and Beggar Woman.
For the first time since 1980, Broadway audiences will experience Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award-winning score as it was performed in the original production—with Jonathan Tunick’s original 26-player orchestration on an epic scale. Tony Award-winning director Thomas Kail helms the return of this musical thriller with Tony winner Alex Lacamoire serving as Music Supervisor and choreography by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett.
