London Sweeny Todd now advertising its move to Broadway....

Should it be saying off Broadway ?

Where is it going to play ??

I am giving in and seeing before it closes here. This will satisfy my growing curiosity and I can also join in the New York transfer discussions !! I have been put off by many friends tearing it to pieces but I am going to see for myself.

Will be interesting to see how much they charge over there !!

Cheers, Lee

Who's in the show...?

Great performers, I hope?

I haven't heard anything about Sweeney coming to B'way, but then again, I don't know it all. Priest? Margo? :-P

whatever and ever amen - ben folds five

It is the VERY different London version.

Just nine performers that all also play instruments.. they are the singers, actors and orchestra. It is very stylised and set in an asylum as a memory piece.

I variously hear it is the best thing ever OR I hear it is terrible !!!! There is a link of photos that I am trying to find again.

Sondheim likes the version by the way.

Well, I hope this is the only B'way revival of "Sweeney Todd" for a long time, so that when I'm old enough to do the part, it'll be just in time for the next Broadway production! (Hey, I can dream, can't I?)
