Answer 1

1.)  Stephen Sondheim  

2.)  Harold Prince and Stephen Sondheim

3.)  1979

4.)  America

5.)  It was based off a novel and intended originally for the stage

6.)  Into the Woods

7.)  The song is a duet, but it is between enemies although the one does not realize it at the time.  During this duet, the main character is trying to convince his enemy that they believe in similar ideals, or in this case women.

8.)  The song is right before a middle climax.  (Just before the middle of the play).

9.)  Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin

10.)  Both characters are very important in the story.  Sweeney Todd is the main character, and Judge Turpin is the one who has wronged Sweeney and his family.
