I love Tunick and he's perhaps the greatest orchestratorin the history of Broadway, but maybe he at 86 shouldn't be the one conducting this. Obviously he'

Yes, full show was performed, including Silly People , which is wisely cut from the show normally.

- the new orchestrations were ..unnecessary? They weren’t entirely different (though the French horns and trumpets were curiously missing at the end of weekend in the country). However, the tempi were SO slow. Songs were dragging like crazy.
- I realize it’s a concert, and it’s Sondheim, but a TON of lines were dropped, cues missed, lyrics jumbled etc…

I don’t post here much anymore. I always try to be kind and understanding for the artists and performers, but frankly, somehow my already in-the-basement expectations for this concert were too high for what I witnessed this evening.

Very sad news. I saw him twice as Sweeney at city opera 20 years ago. To this day, he’s been my absolute favorite in the role that I’ve seen live. Tremendous performance.

Do you know if any of his other songs had the key raised ? I imagine so since epiphany was higher. I can’t imagine him singing barber and his wife in the original key.

The majority of the market for those shows right now (nyc locals/bridge & tunnel) were out of town last week or busy for the holiday and they are not tourist friendly titles or shows. The big, fully tourist-dependent shows all did terrifically last week. This past week, things were back to “normal.”

Finally caught this. While I admire the efforts to tell this story, the final product is quite hammy and cheesy. Sure there are some genuinely affecting moments in Act 2 (thanks to an always wonderful Chip Zien), but it’s hard to fathom that this has been worked on for 20+ years. The music is serviceable, but the real problems lie in the book and lyrics: way too much anachronistic dialogue, 20-20 hindsight, unrealistic situations and hypotheticals (specifically the sce

Sutton Ross said: "I think it's funny that people can't see Aaron in the role. Maybe you should look up the definition of what acting is and realize that they are trained for alllll different kinds of things. Sutton and Aaron are both Broadway royalty with great attendance records, and this production is lucky to have them. I don't love the lack of diversity with the two main roles, but not all shows are obligated to do that to please people who value such things.
