Pretty Women (Sweeney Todd)
~ Song
Annotation
orchestration by Jonathan Tunick pertains only to earlier productions of Stephen Sondheim's musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street;
for the 2005 Broadway revival, which was nominated for six Tony Awards including Best Orchestration, Sarah Travis reconstructed Tunick's original arrangements.
