Elaine Paige Takes a Bite Out of Sweeney Todd

British stage icon Elaine Paige (as Mrs. Lovett) and Mark Delavan (in the title role) headlined the City Opera production of Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which had its official opening at the New York State Theater at a gala performance on March 9. We're talking breathtaking performances here! The musical, which you probably know features music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, a book by Hugh Wheeler and an adaptation by Christopher Bond, is a favorite among Sondheim fans and... well, everyone. Check out our photos of the marriage of The First Lady of British Musical Theatre (Paige's almost official title) and the greatest living American composer.
