LOLOL. Yeah. As characters, Erik is definitely the more sophisticated!

I figure they meant the composers, Sondheim vs Lloyd Webber. There's a lot of Sondheim snobbery in musical theater fandom.

oooh, you're probably not wrong. as much as I dislike webber personally he's clearly just as good as sondheim.

I think it's fair to call Sondheim more musically sophisticated. Sweeney Todd plays constantly with variations on the Dies Irae theme. However, I love early ALW shows. Not everything has to be the height of musical sophistication. That's not what I personally love musicals for!

[meadowphoenix]

Yes, Sweeney Todd is typical of Sondheim's variation method of songwriting and varying methods of songwriting can be wonderful to listen to, I can agree with that!

I don't think you're giving Phantom enough credit, but as you say, that's fine.

Oh, I totally love Phantom! It's my favourite musical of all time. I also love Les Mis, and Sweeney Todd is probably in third place.

I do agree that people often don't credit shows like Phantom enough - people generally love writing off and insulting ALW. Hell, I like insulting ALW for "Love Never Dies", lol. And I haven't really listened to most of his shows since the early 90s, as what I heard from them didn't grab me. Still love Phantom, Evita, and JCS!

I have a bias, which is that I absolutely love Cats, and I think it's extremely well put together and compelling considering it's essentially a vaudeville show with religious cats. So tbf, my taste may be considered questionable.
