When Stephen Sondheim was asked whether SWEENEY TODD was a musical or an opera, he answered that it depended where it was being done—a theatre or an opera house. Well, what does that make Heartbeat Opera’s QUEENEY TODD—THE DEMON BOTTOM OF FLEET STREET? Heartbeat Opera calls it, “A genre-bending drag opera revenge fantasy.” I call it a boisterous evening of great drag/opera/dance/parody hilarity.
