" Sweeney Todd Part One "

Over the Rainbow moved from Saturdays to Sundays this week, and I played selections from the first act of Stephen Sondheim's " Sweeney Todd ", one of my absolute favourite musicals. I just got this live 2-CD recording from the New York Philharmonic, featuring George Hearn, Patti Lupone, Neil Patrick Harris, Davis Gaines and Audra MacDonald. This week was Act One, next week will be Act Two because there is too much good stuff to condense it into a single hour of programming.

Songs I played:

" Prelude " from Sweeney Todd
" The Ballad of Sweeney Todd " from Sweeney Todd
" No Place Like London " from Sweeney Todd
" The Worse Pies In London " from Sweeney Todd
" Poor Thing " from Sweeney Todd
" My Friends " from Sweeney Todd
" Green Finch and Linnet Bird " from Sweeney Todd
" Ah, Miss " from Sweeney Todd
" Johanna " from Sweeney Todd
" Kiss Me " from Sweeney Todd
" Ladies in their Sensitivities " from Sweeney Todd
" Kiss Me, Pt. II " from Sweeney Todd
" Pretty Women " from Sweeney Todd
" Epiphany " from Sweeney Todd
" A Little Priest " from Sweeney Todd
