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

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.

Posted: 1/13/05 at 10:58amWell, 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?)
