By now, SWEENEY TODD has proven time and again that it can be done in all different sizes of production and still work beautifully. A mark of true greatness.

That said, I never felt that the show in any way suffered from the scale of the original production. And any production that's large enough to use a full orchestra playing those incredibly beautiful and powerful original orchestrations by Tunick is, in my opinion, better in that respect than one that isn't and doesn't.
