Sweeney Todd is unlike other musicals. It is one of the more gory and action packed musicals. With that it brings in other audiences rather then just musical interested people.

Different People Experience the Same Media Differently

Sweeney Todd is unlike other musicals

One side is the (Girls) Musical/Love Fans

Other side side is the (Guys) Action/Horror/Gore Fans

Girls tend to love to see the Musical and Love side of any type of media. In Sweeney Todd they can come away with the music better (understanding it more). And see that in the movie Sweeney Todd that Ms. Lovett loves Sweeney Todd. Thats why she tells him his wife is dead. Guys would not think to see it in this shed of light.

Guys on the other hand are interested in the Action, Horror and Gore of a movie and focus on the hatred of Judge Turpin from Sweeney Todd. They want to see the throat being slit and the blood going everywhere. Guys will focus on this message more rather then the love and musical aspect of the movie.
