Interview with the late Mr. Lee's longtime associate Patrick Lynch about Lee's original Sweeney Todd set and its influence on the new Trinity Rep production (https://www.trinityrep.com/show/sweeney-todd-the-demon-barber-of-fleet-street/), on which they'd both been working at the time of Lee's death:

Another forehead-slap moment: of course the governing scenic metaphor for an updated Sweeney, rather than an industrial-era factory, would become a 21st-century prison (https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2023.html). (Could there be any more literal referent, for Hal Prince's observation that Lee's original foundry setting "manufactures Sweeneys," than modern American carceral capitalism (https://news.law.fordham.edu/jcfl/2018/12/09/the-american-prison-system-its-just-business/)?). I'd be very curious to see this production, currently running at the Rep's 250-seat Dowling Theater in Providence; but alas, it's only running for another week.
