Sweeney Todd

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Tony Award winner Patti LuPone joins us to talk about her role in the Broadway revival of Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd." The production finds her singing -- and playing the tuba. Also: Music boxes are typically small, delicate items, but imagine creating one large enough to walk through. We hear about a sound installation in Queens known as Fluxbox. And a look at the Dance Theatre Workshop's new production, "Sourcing Stravinsky," which features six different choreographer's takes on the composer.
