Josh Groban Knows He's Not Your Typical Pick For Sweeney Todd – headline at playbill.com, February 1, 2023

Whenever a part

  Is cast against type,

It’s likely to start

  A lot of free hype.

Josh Groban was cast

  To play Sweeney Todd,

Which has to be classed

  As terribly odd. —

It’s a lot to get through

  Perhaps he can do it, 

There’s scenery to chew,

  Perhaps he can chew it.

But his baritone sound,

  So lyric and light,

Will likely be drowned

  By the end of the night.

So I think I’ll ignore

  His chair and his pies,

I’ve seen it before

  With more sinister guys.
