Aaron Tveit took over in the lead role of Sweeney Todd on Broadway last week, alongside Sutton Foster as Mrs. Lovett. They replace Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford respectively. There has been a lot of controversy around Aaron Tveit's casting because he is, famously, a tenor, and Sweeney Todd is, famously, a bass / baritone role. Some are saying Aaron Tveit might be miscast. So of course I had to react to the video of Aaron Tveit performing one of Sweeney's big songs, "Epiphany." Music & Lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim, of course.

ABOUT THE CHANNEL:
Hi! My name is Mateo, I'm a professional musical theatre composer, splitting my time between Toronto & NYC right now.

Every Thursday on this channel, I post a video analyzing the music theory behind some of the great Broadway musicals of all time! In the past, I've analyzed works by Sondheim, Jason Robert Brown, Pasek & Paul, Jeanine Tesori, and Stephen Schwartz, just to name a few.

Every Sunday on this channel, I post a video update of the progress I'm making on my writing projects, so you can follow along with the process as I create new musicals from scratch.

And every Tuesday on this channel, I post a video clarifying one often-misunderstood music theory concept.

If this sounds like your vibe, don't forget to subscribe! ✨✨✨
