...Stewart has done a masterful job with the complex action of Sweeney Todd. The crowd scenes are well staged and the general atmosphere of a London slum is so well evoked that the scene changes seem to be part of the action. Certain scenes, such as the contest between Pirelli and Todd, manage to transcend the tiny stage of the Loeb Ex. One of the best moments in Sweeney Todd is the "A Little Priest" number at the end of the first act. Travis and Mullins' rendition of it is one of the finest moments in Harvard theater this season...
More often, Felix is only asked to rebuild aheel or repair a sole. Customers often bring in anew pair of shoes so he can attach a rubber bottommade by Pirelli, the Italian tire company.

Edwards' Mrs. Lovett is hilarious, as are Johnson's lascivious, foppish beadle and Arthur Fuscaldo's Pirelli, a mountebank rival barber. Wolman's judge is surprisingly sympathetic, and Michael Starr is strong as Tobias, Mrs. Lovett's fiercely devoted young shill...
...finally abandoned all attempts at stylistic harmony in his design for the New State Gallery in Stuttgart, which opened last year. The exquisitely proportioned classic entrance hall is assaulted by a bilious green Pirelli rubber floor covering and the gaudily painted steel frame of the elevator shaft. The circular interior courtyard, with sensuous marble nymphs basking in the glow of golden travertine and sandstone walls, is assaulted by vulgar pink and blue pipes that serve as handrails for a spiraling ramp...
