Oo Color and Light, that is soo funny!
OH MY GOD MANOEL IS WEARING SO MUCH MAKEUP. AHHH.
hee!
OK. Is it wrong of me to want to Sweeney because of him? I mean not really *all* because of him, but he's definitely good incentive
I actually think all of the actors in Sweneey are attractive, but I didn't realize this until after I'd gotten tickets. You should see it, Fantab!

Sweeney's still going to be open around August/Septemberish, right?

Being in a production of Sweeney Todd is enough to make me love anyone, really ... unless they really suck.
"I have to say Adam Pascal isn't very good with words. Haha. He like stumbles and stammers... it's cute."
lol, someone on LJ talking about one of those interview things they play before movies start.

I can't speak without stumbling and stammering unless I'm really comfortable around the people I'm talking to.
I'm sure, Lexi.
hah. Poor Adam!
Lexi, it sounds like it's doing quite well and I'm sure it'll get a boost after the Tonys, so I would think it should still be around then. Does anyone know when the original cast's contracts are up?

Haha, what interview was this?
Edit: Thanks, girls. I don't know the first thing about that musical, so glad to hear it'll still be around for me.

Something that they play in movie theaters before the movie starts I guess.
I only know the extreme basics of the Sweeney plot, but I'm interested in seeing it. It's been available at the TKTS booth the last few times I've gotten tickets to shows, so I'm figuring that I might see it the next time I plan on being spontaneous.
I wonder what movie theater chain has that Adam interview in their pre-movie entertainment footage.

Oh, definitely see it. Sweeney Todd is theater bliss.
Listen to the music first. Seriously, do yourself that favor!
I've loved the OBC Sweeney Todd recording for a while, and the revival one is just about equally incredible. It seems like the sort of show that you should be familiar with before seeing anyway, yes?

Yeah, familiarizing yourself with the show for this particular production wouldn't hurt at all. And it's a great excuse to by the DVD of the touring production, anyway!
And to the comments regarding my icon ... my sister and I used to have this crazy in-joke that involved Roger, time travel, and a lot of nipple paint. But I will not go into length about that.

I think most, if not all, of musical theatre shows are better if one is at least somewhat familiar with the music. From my experience, they're the best when you don't know every line by heart, but are generally familiar with the melodies.
I am SO. BORED. I've reduced myself to just watching random Broadway-related videos that I have saved on my computer. After reading this thread, I have a strange urge to watch Michael's and Adam's Under Pressure for the HUNDREDTH EFFING TIME. Hee.
Doooooooo it.
I'm doing this really annoying data analysis and I have no idea what the effing numbers mean.
I've been the laziest person ever today. I went to class this morning, and then I came back and... well, sort of worked on our online chemistry homework, but the program absolutely hates my computer and I have to shut down and restart Firefox or Safari after every problem. So yeah, mostly just surfed the internet.
Ooh, data analysis. That's always fun.

I have to go to a discussion section in 20 minutes but I really don't want to get up.

Heh to Adam apparently going commando in the video. And wearing girls' jeans.
Hah, Em, that sounds like me every single time I do any type of math-related work.
Broadway Star Joined: 10/23/05
I find myself watching the "Under Pressure" video all. the. damned. time. But, really, is Adam wearing lady jeans in that?
Broadway Star Joined: 12/31/69
I've never seen men's jeans so tight. Seriously.
