This CD contains songs from 17 different Sondheim productions, often performed by some of the most notable actors to play the roles; its release in 2016 means that its compilers had all of Sondheim's major works to choose from when compiling the "Essential" Sondheim.
This DVD contains the show Sweeney Todd, Sondheim's horror-thriller about the barber Sweeney Todd, who kills his unsuspecting customers, and his partner Nellie Lovett, who makes them into meat pies for her shop. This version, filmed as a TV musical in 1982, stars Angela Lansbury, who also headlined the original Broadway production, and George Hearn.
The first musical for which Sondheim wrote lyrics, this movie sets the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, now named Tony and Maria, against a backdrop of gang warfare in 1950s New York.
