Rave reviews for Caroline in Sweeney Todd

Caroline O'Connor, a late replacement who learned the role of Mrs Lovett on short notice, is sheer delight - George Loomis, The New York Times.

And Australian singer/dancer/actress Caroline O'Connor is sensational as Mrs Lovett- the roar of applause from her opening night curtain call was exceeded only by the standing ovation for octogenarian Sondheim - Judy Fayard, The Wall Street Journal.

Australian theatre magazine Stage Whispers reports - Caroline O'Connor's Mrs Lovett - Toast of Paris.

Australian theatre website Aussie Theatre reports - O'Connor's achievement is a major Australian news success story.

Sondheim: Caroline is best Mrs Lovett ever

Legendary Sweeney Todd composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim attended the opening night of Sweeney Todd in Paris and declared Caroline, "the best Mrs Lovett he has ever heard." (Le Monde, Sweeney Todd review).

The Australian singer, dancer, actress replaced the scheduled artist less than a month ago. She didn't know the role and yet she made it hers in an amazing way: since Angela Lansbury's performance, we have not heard such incarnation. Stephen Sondheim made no mistake and he didn't hesitate to let others know that she is "the best Mrs Lovett he has ever heard." This little miracle takes place in Paris so you'd better hurry to grab your tickets. (Le Monde, April 25, 2011)
