Edmund Lyndeck (Performer) | Playbill

Edmund Lyndeck

Performer

Mr. Lyndeck played the part with an oily self-importance and malevolence and lent his rich baritone to the songs "Pretty Women" (a melodic duet with Todd) and the disturbing "Johanna (Mea Culpa)," in which the Judge tried to control his wicked urges by whipping himself. The latter song was cut from the original production, but heard on the cast recording.
