Off'topic for Joshua
I saw this London studio production twice. It is the most thrilling time I've spent in the theatre. Just wonderful and I realise now that more grandiose productions swamp the disharmonies of action and music that give Sweeney its cutting edge. You can hear the bones of the music clicking into place. Karen Mann as Mrs Lovett is so good it would be awful if she didn't transfer. I think New Yorkers will be astonished by this and I'd like to know what Sondheim thinks.
