The music is going to sound INCREDIBLE!

"

It's been discussed at length in the original Groban-Sweeney thread :)"


ooh I’ll have to find, didn’t realize there was another thread. So exciting!

I know we won't know for sure until we see how the set effects sight lines, but does anyone have any experience with the far side left, mid-orchestra of the Lunt?  Is it a decent view of the stage?

The box office is open now, too. I picked up a pair today and witnessed something foreign to me: two separate people ordering a bunch of tickets for various random dates for specific numbers of people(2-4 usually) at specific price points. And they were standing there for quite some time so they must have purchased thousands of dollars of tickets. Anyone know what or who this might be for?

I’m almost certain it was for Show-Score as I received an email about their member night performances after this post came up.

These look like character selection screens from a Sondheim-themed fighting game.

OMG I know that's probably not the actual set but the vibe looks VERY promising. None of that concert staging sh*t.

Could do without the green screen, but I am liking this

That's some weird photoshopping.
What's with the angle of Annaleigh's head and neck!?

I've got a bit of a sore ass about this revival (albeit not without reason), so I'm trying to be kind, but I'm kind of finding it hilarious how this looks like a Sweeney-themed show at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. The pictures scream "weirdly intense theme park performer and his scene partner trying to urge him to dial it down a notch."

They look awfully pretty for Sweeney and Lovett. Is it too much to hope for some wild eyes and a little more dirt on their clothes?

Shocked to read criticisms on here. I think it looks absolutely fabulous!

I actually think it looks amazing!

This is for promo; it might not necessarily reflect how they'll look on stage. But we shall see!

This feels like one of those ai sites where someone typed in "Josh Groban Annaleigh Ashford Sweeney Todd" and this is what popped out.

I'm trying, but there's just nothing to hold onto. Got anything I can grab hold of, sugar?
