HollywoodChicago.com theater critic Adam Fendelman wrote in his review of the musical “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” now performing in Chicago:
While Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the demon barber of Fleet Street in the 2007 film iteration sells you on his fiendish ways, actor and singer David Hess in the musical bobbles more in purgatory rather than living hysterically in hell.
