Aaron Tveit on Being ‘Terrified & Excited’ to Play Sweeney Todd, How His Cafe Carlyle Setlist Takes a Cue From Eras Tour


Aaron Tveit spoke to Billboard about his bucket-list roles, the future of Schmigadoon!, and why his Carlyle audiences could hear some Taylor Swift.

They might remember him as Nate’s hot cousin Tripp van der Bilt on the original Gossip Girl, or as a hilarious send-up of numerous musical theater hero tropes on the late, great Apple TV+ comedy Schmigadoon! Sufficed to say, Tveit has range – as he most recently proved when he replaced Josh Groban in the acclaimed Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece Sweeney Todd, playing the Demon Barber of Fleet Street opposite Sutton Foster’s Mrs. Lovett (the two just co-hosted the Drama Desk Awards together). Prior to its kick-off Tuesday night (June 11), Tveit spoke to Billboard about his bucket-list Sondheim roles, the possible future of Schmigadoon!, and why his Carlyle audiences could hear a little Taylor Swift in his set.
