I saw last night's preview and I'm still kind of speechless. I've never seen a show like this. It was minimalist, raw, and loud: in a very good way. I really enjoyed it, but it's definitely not gonna be everyone's cup of tea. I sat in the onstage section and wow wow wow it was intense. The performer playing Alex (who transferred from the West End) was phenomenal. He's gotta a bright future ahead of him. 

I was also there Tuesday night, and while I totally ageee that Carmelo's Mrs Lovett is phenomenal, I found the rest of the production REALLY flat. Norm Lewis is not a good fit for Sweeney.  You can't convey all of Sweeney's passionate outbreaks (Epiphany) by just getting louder. I REALLLLLY wish I'd seen the previous cast.
