Just got back from "Sweeney Todd"
#25re: Just got back from 'Sweeney Todd'
Posted: 12/8/07 at 9:04pmBefore we get back, I would like to say one thing. The reason I'm sneaking out is for Sweeney. The only reason! Sure, I will feel bad but still. My ex-stonor rfriend is 16 and he was a stonor in 7th grade and got close to being arrested 3 times (first time sneaking smokes, second running too fast in the street, third for being a smartass to a cop (I was there for that one) Anyways, I don't even know why I botherd asking if you guys think I should because I don't know you. I'm sorry.

Posted: 12/9/07 at 9:32pmI decided to not do it. I'd rather be a renthead not a crackhead. Even though I'm not a fan of rent, I said it anyways. Sue me!

In the grand scheme of things, SpellingBee, it doesn't matter in the least.
You'll see it when it opens, and who got their "first" won't count for beans it two weeks.
Not worth the trouble... or the "corruption."

How does one run too fast in the street?
Anyway, I'm in the sneak out camp, just to see what happens :P I'll take full responsibility if you get in trouble with your parents.

"being arrested 3 times...second running too fast in the street"
Oy.
Sometimes I feel about 20-ish years older than everyone else on this board-- I'm 36.

Posted: 12/9/07 at 10:42pmI don't know how he did, but he did. And thanks Roninjoey, but I think my parents would be like "Bull**** it's his fault! Take responsibilty for your own ****ing self." The closest thing I did to neaking out was staying out an extra 3 hours past curfew.

This comes to show just how powerful a full orchestra can be and how much more emotional substance it can add. Sadly, the Broadway orchestra is one of the most overlooked things.
It's only when there is a direct comparison that one realizes how important it is. The Sweeney revival used a cheap excuse for an orchestra. Actually, it was more like a band. It was not sufficient, therefore not fulfilling the score's emotional potential. The film uses one of the most grand orchestras I've heard. Beautiful.
