Posted: 8/18/04 at 11:57amMatt_G has a confession to make. He has never seen SWEENEY TODD. Is that bad?

Posted: 8/18/04 at 12:08pmNot "bad", Matt...Just another opportunity! Sweeney Todd is very good and a lot of fun, as long as you enjoy dark humor. And, you have about the wittiest sense of humor that I've seen on the boards, so I think you'd like it!

Posted: 8/18/04 at 12:36pmMatt - You should check out the video of the OBC of Sweeney. It is a well constructed musical and has some pretty good music. It is refreshing to see a dark musical done so well...
I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

Posted: 8/18/04 at 12:38pmLes Mis, I guess. I don't know, anything really dark and depressing suits me just fine.

I would have to say either Once on this Island or Rent with Bare creeping up quite quickly! :)
And raises hand to admit that I've never seen Sweeney Todd either.

Matt and Bobby. Why? Please, for the sake of all that is pure and holy, go rent/buy the DVD(s) and/or CD(s). Please.

Posted: 8/18/04 at 12:45pmThe lead roles of the Sweeney OBC are almost too creepily well cast! The lyrics are some of Sondheim's best - and A Little Priest puts every broadway lyricist to shame! Do yourself a favor, pop the DVD in and enjoy...

Hate to be picky.
But BT, when you said "You should check out the video of the OBC of Sweeney"
You meant the tour cast. The video is of the tour production. Which is better, because I feel Hearn's Sweeney is superior to Cariou's. And, yes, A LITTLE PRIEST puts every lyricist to shame

Posted: 8/18/04 at 2:01pmNine is my favorite musical as well, and it was only this year that I made that decision. It has everything I want in it: a twisted plot, an incredible score, and complex characters.
