Yes, you read that right. A theater company in the Washington, DC area is in the process of developing a prog-metal version of Sweeney Todd. You know, the Broadway musical.....
As unlikely as this sounds, it might work better than you'd think:
In fact the only real problem I hear with Dee's version is that the original was written for a whole stage full of singers, but he's just one guy, and so some of the changes don't come off quite the way the music wants them to.
