TODAY IN THEATRE HISTORY: In 2005, Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone star in an unusual revival of Sweeney Todd. Under the direction of John Doyle the ten cast members also serve as the orchestra, doubling on musical instruments when they are not performing in a scene. LuPone delights audiences with her capable tuba playing.
For more on the 2005 revival of Sweeney Todd, including a look inside the opening night Playbill, visit PlaybillVault.com.
