Sweeney Todd Revival to Release Broadway Cast Recording

The hit Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd is now playing at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and it was revealed this week that the production, led by Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford, will release a Broadway cast recording. The upcoming recording, produced by Alex Lacamoire and co-produced by Thomas Kail, will be released by Arts Music and Reprise Records later this year.

The cast recording will feature Jonathan Tunick’s expansive original 26-player orchestration from the original production. While no official release date has been announced yet, you can pre-save the album here.

In addition to Groban and Ashford starring as Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett, respectively, the Broadway cast of Sweeney Todd includes Jordan Fisher (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen) as Anthony, Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things) as Tobias, Tony Award winner and Laurence Olivier Award nominee Ruthie Ann Miles (The King and I) as Beggar Woman, Maria Bilbao (On Your Feet!) as Johanna, Jamie Jackson (The Last Ship) as Judge Turpin, John Rapson (Les Misérables) as Beadle Bamford, Nicholas Christopher (Hamilton) as Pirelli/Standby for Sweeney Todd, and Jeanna de Waal (Diana, The Musical) as Standby for Mrs. Lovett and Beggar Woman.

Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s landmark musical, from an adaptation by Christopher Bond, tells the tale of a resourceful pie shop owner and a vengeful barber out for blood. After he’s sent away by a corrupt judge, Sweeney returns to London years later seeking his long-lost family, and forms an unlikely partnership with Mrs. Lovett, who serves up pies underneath his former shop. Together, they wreak havoc on Fleet Street and serve up the hottest – and most unsettling – pies in London.
