Actor Danny Rothman doesn't believe Sweeney Todd in Stephen Sondheim's classic musical is psychotic or a sociopath in this Victorian Age tale of revenge.
Explaining the appeal of something so grisly, Rothman says:"I do think people like to be frightened I think that’s fun, when there's no consequences. I think we can step away from it and say 'That was fun.' I think the music is beautiful and very intelligently written. I don’t think we give ourselves kind of the permission to feel some of the darker things that Sweeney is going through.
"I think she's in love with Sweeney so therefore she's going to do what she can to help him but also at the same time to try to steer him over to her vision for the future. And yes participates in this unbelievably horrible thing. But I do believe she is narrowly focused and also more light and comedic, a charming murderer.
