Not much to add...(Edit:I have to stop saying that and then writing a huge review, its not my fault, its sweeney!)
About half way through waiting on the Odd Couple line I realized I had met the tai bo girls before at Little Women they sat next to me (sneaking up to my row during the second act and sang incessantly in a nasal little head voice during intermission) and then at the stagedoor they cryed cause sutton wasn't there...And they proved just as much fun this time declaring that The Light in the Piazza was a terrible show and that they were friends with Mark Kudish...yes people like this do exist, I should have asked how they felt about Idina...
Sweeney was unbelievable...I was skeptical at first due to the instruments,but they were never particularly distracting and worked extremely well when the characters were distressed...
Patty Lupone was amazing, she really brought a sexiness to Mrs. Lovett that Angela Lansbury didn't(at least in the video of Sweeney)...I never thought I'd see Patty Lupone, but I certainly never thought I'd see SO much of patty Lupone, man they crammed her in a short skirt..and then during the second act her nunga nugnas made an apprearence, with some serious cleavage...And Patty playing the Tuba and triangles defies words...
Lauren Molina as Johanna was amazing, sooo much funnier then I had expected, amazingly funny during "Kiss me"...
Anthony was sweet, quite funny also, great voice, they had his and her matching cellos which I liked...
Tobias was a bit old, which was interesting for the part, a bit odd, during "No One's Gonna Harm you" it almost seemed more of a romantic sentiment then a familial sentiment, once again wonderful voice
Alexander Gemignani!!!..He payed the beedle didn't stand out too much but I loved him from the Assassins Cast recording, so seeing him made me a happy girl...
Cerveris was EVERYTHING anyone could want in a Sweeney, his voice was much better than I thought it would be based off Cast recordings, perfction
All of Sweeney was much funnier then I had expected...and then there were moments that were just unbelievably intense and gave you chills...Everyone was amazing at the stagedoor and so grateful, Cerveris made a little video for my brother which I might try to upload...and seriously I didn't review everyone in it as this is long enough, but they were all up their singing acting playing the instruments, and changing the sets around...phenomenal...
In summation, Sweeney Todd was just okay, It could have used a beach ball one would think they'd have at least one left over from Good Vibrations...
um...Killed alot of time, many umbrlla fights, some minor vandalism, Sam offended the guy running the Toys R Us ferris wheel, Kerrie and sam managed to scare off Darth vader...yes thats right they scared away the dark lord(wait or is that from LOTR)...Anyway, between the two of them I could go without hearing an Ewan Mcgreggor quote for awhile
The waiter at Olive Garden was hot for Sam and I do believe that was the acutal impetus for the infamous soda out of the nose incident, at least she was done with her fettuci by then!
Odd Couple...standing room wasn't that uncomfortable, I'd do it again(not for Odd Couple but in general)...Odd Couple was quite good, funny, but not hysterical...my first play, I'm ashamed to admit I missed music...Nathan Lane was perfect, Matthew carried the part I liked him...mostly it was just impressive seeing the two of them on the stage...I really enjoyed Brad Garret wished he had a bigger role...
Stage door, I had bought a poster but couldn't get it signed as it would have just melted if I had taken it out...Saved my playbill from the torrential rains though and got matthew and Nathan...Stage door guy attempted to convince us that Brad Garret had already left, walked right in front of us supposedly, the man is like 7ft tall what was he disguised as a giraffe?!?!
Then off to the DRS stagedoor cause we're nuts, met Liz!! The captains have met...the heavens sang(well they dripped at least) and God resigned his post and left us in charge of humanity!!
T'was loverly meeting Greg again, Sam of course upon meeting Gregory Jbara asked him about working with tom selleck...must work on that boys stagedoor etiquette...I still don't have any signatures from the DRS cast including Greg, cause I'm awesome like that...
Survived my second subway trip, still have no idea how to use it though!!
My train was delayed and didn't get home until 2...4 essays due next week woo!
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
