A broadway star has abruptly withdrawn from the leading role in the musical about Tiananmen massacre in 1989 just weeks before its debut, while he’s touring in China.

This production of “Sweeney Todd” takes what is essentially an epic story of power, loss, and revenge and reduces it to something quite intimate.
