"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
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.
"Applause begets applause in the theatre, as laughter begets laughter and tears beget tears."
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."
TOM STOPPARD
The 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.
That 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.
