I could NEVER really get into Sondheim's later music; though you're right, the atonality fits "SWEENY TODD". What he did to "Edwin Drood", though, was enough to make this Dickens fanatic want to leave the theatre after Act 1. I didn't,but my husband and I were NOT happy at all. :-(
I'd LOVE a DVD of your production and swear in blood, that I'll watch it from beginning to end!
