Not that bad. Looking forward to seeing Kaye, especially, in January.

I am happy to hear they were able to work out a deal with Judy Kaye. They went into negotiations with her to tour just after the announcement of the Broadway closing and had been going back and forth to iron out a deal ever since then.


Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Yay! Now just announce the rest of the cast please. re: Kaye and Hess To Star in Sweeney Todd Tour


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Very funny: Hess' trademark, according to his IMDB plage, is that he "always portrays pyschotic homicidal maniacs". re: Kaye and Hess To Star in Sweeney Todd Tour


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Sing the glorious praises!

A simple search onto Broadway Across America's website brought me this:

Awesome. Loved Kaye as much as (if not more...) than LuPone.

I will be very surprised if Chicago doesn't get the tour since it is such a Sondheim town.

They both were excellent, each in their own way.

IF they don't announce Chicago dates soon I'm moving to St. Louis where they get all the GOOD shows!

I know, right? Although, trust me, a couple of decent shows at the horrible barn of theatre ain't enough to make living in St Louis worthwhile.

But seriously, it sucks that this is yet another show not coming through Chicago.

Is it bad if I don't know who David Hess is?

Loved Kaye. She was a breath of fresh air after LuPone towards the end of the run.

Aaaw, I love David Hess. And Judy Kaye was a fantastic Mrs Lovett.
