No one sings like Hearn. Amazing. His acting of the song is also superior to anyone else. What an amazing talent. The two of them are fabulous.

The great Loudon! She used all the ingredients everyone else did and somehow cooked up these utterly unique creations.

George and Dorothy give exactly the right inflections. When Mrs. Lovett asks "Do you know where I'd like to go?, his response of, "Yes, yes, I do, I do" couldn't be more disinterested or patronizing. He's just humoring her while being obsessed with 100 other things.

How I loved Dorothy Loudon in George Hearn in SWEENEY TODD. She was absolutely brilliant in the role and he was terrific.

She is so brilliant! They have such great chemistry!

Absolutely! I saw them as the OBC replacement cast in 1980, and they were so amazing that they could have opened the show when it premiered in 1978! Dorothy Loudon was a force of nature-forceful, vulnerable, and without equal!

Alan, Thank you so much for posting this! It brings back wonderful memories for me! Years ago, I saw Sweeney Todd in NYC with Dorothy Loudon and George Hearn. The production was magical and entrancing! I'll never ever forget it!

What a great introduction to the number by Merv Griffin. I miss his shows!

George Hearn is the King of Sweeneys. He has no peer.

George Hearn 💯😍

Absolutely amazing. It is however, extremely odd to see them completely cranked to 100 performing these songs. But they look NOTHING like they do on stage. No makeup no nothing.

Angela Lansbury was brilliant in this part but this is genius. She IS deranged.

This is the same jacket George wore during rehearsals of the national tour

DOROTHY LOUDON is enjoyable an likeable talent that should have her own TV Show, she is a real singer an ANGELA LANSBURY is a ACTRESS

Loudon replaced the original star Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett while Hearn replaced Len Cariou from Mar 04, 1980 - Jun 29, 1980.

Lo❤❤😂

They look like Julie Andrews and James Caan. Haha

as much as I adore Dorothy Loudon as a performer she was never a team player..Lansbury did the role as part of an ensemble..with Dorothy I always get the feeling she wants to steal the scene so badly she can't contain herself..maybe there lies some of the reason she never really became a star ?

I’d much rather listen to this woman than Angels Lansbury. I’m sorry, but that televised stage version of Sweeney Todd with Lansbury is absolutely terrifyingly, disturbing and stomach-churning inducing. I had to stuff tampons into my ears bc they were bleeding from listening.
