Ahmanson Theatre
135 N. Grand Ave.
L.A.,CA
John Doyle's Tony-winning chamber version, in which the acting company doubles as the band, distills the essence of what makes Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's macabre love child an un-categorizable masterpiece. No, the cavernous Ahmanson isn't the most hospitable environment for such a minimalist staging, but Judy Kaye delivers a fiendishly incandescent Mrs. Lovett.
