All respect to NPH, at the top of his (or any other's) performing game. That's a given. But you have to have something to perform. And Sondheim (with whom I was blessed enough to have studied) gives him everything. Ev. Er. Ry. Thing. The fly-fisherman's let-it-out, let-it-in dexterity with the material. The hold-your-breath, here's another ix-ir rhyme. The gleeful key-changes, which only a composer-lyricist could bring off. The look, here's Cockney 19th-century English: another colour with which I can make still-more-luminous this palette, forging rhymes which would never chime in received American pronunciation. And look again, here is cod-Italian, arriving like the cavalry. Blessed I was. But blessed we all were and are, to be alive at the same time as Stephen Sondheim.

He starred in a TV miniseries as Erik, or The Phantom, of Phantom of the Opera fame. The Broadway part comes in to play, with the miniseries not being based on the Lloyd Webber musical, but the unproduced (at the time) musical, Phantom, which was written by Maurie Yeston and Arthur Koppit-- the duo behind the Broadway musical, Nine.

Sweeney Todd is portrayed here by the immensely talented George Hearn, who, fun fact, starred as Sweeney Todd in the 1982 PBS recording opposite Angela Landsbury.
