Patti LuPone has long been known as a top-flight actor and singer on the Broadway stage.

How well does she play tuba, and how effective is it as part of her characterization in Stephen Sondhem's "Sweeney Todd?"

According to Charles Isherwood in the NY Times, Patti played tuba in an all-girl marching band in high school. She also plays xylophone and bells in "Sweeny". Most reviews I have seen have been good.

Please note that if this turns into an image of a naked man with a gargantuan member, I am not to be held responsible.
