    My favourite version of this show ever. This should be available as a recording.

    Denis Quilley was an absolute gent, he bought the band a round of drinks every interval. Nice chap!

    Oh my GOD Mrs. Lovett is INCREDIBLE! Her accent, her R rolls, just beautiful! I'm only halfway through Worst Pies in London, but she is absolutely one of the best I've ever heard, and I've heard so many it's in the double digits!!!

    Thank you so much for this! It is my favourite version of the show, probably because it was the first I ever heard. I only wish I could have seen it on stage. I managed to record it from the radio, but my elderly cassette tapes are no longer playable.

    LMAO the ensemble sings Tower of Bray and Sweet Polly Plunkett too 😂
  • @smurf902
    The Tobias, however, is wonderful.
  • @ruisenor8993
    Bruh why do Anthony and Johanna sound so terrible?
  • @smurf902
    Weak Johanna and Anthony, as always. Best were Chris Groenendaal and Sarah Rice and Betsy Joslyn (before she went all out of tune later in the tour) and also Lisa Vroman
