Posted: 9/19/04 at 7:45pmThis is a bit different, but I would totally make out with Chauvelin from The Scarlet Pimpernel.

'I'm guessing you mean "bad guy and woman"?'
well yea if you want to get all technical...
seems to me that everyone figured that out already though

Posted: 9/19/04 at 8:56pmMr. Applegate is tremendous fun. He can be played so over the top or so understated. It really is a terrific role.

SWEENEY TODD!!!
but is he really a bad guy? Sure he kills people, but i think he is the only member of the cast that has any true reason for the crimes he committs.

CLAYTON HAMILTON, "Theory of the Theatre"
"I think theater ought to be theatrical ... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's -- there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is."

Posted: 9/20/04 at 2:45amThe real bad guy in SWEENEY TODD is Judge Turpin. Sweeney and Lovett are written for us to be on their side, even though they are murderers and essentially, yes, the bad guys, but they don't get away with it... which makes Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett even more adorable together than Velma and Roxie.

Posted: 9/20/04 at 8:13amThat would have to be Eric... but to answer Sumofallthings question... yes. For all intesive purposes, he is. I mean he commits murder, kidnapping... however i like to think of him as... persuaded by true love, something he was never able to have. so you could go either way with this... evil madman, or misunderstood crusader... maybe a little of both? that's for you to decide.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant, O.G.
