If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Suit on up and come brace my sword
You look back when the pieces are missing
Hollowed out hope that no time can restore."

Posted: 1/5/05 at 12:54amYou think ITW is hard?! Try doing it in a WEEK!!!! I did it. This summer with the College Light Opera Company. It was insanity. Opening night was frightening, but after that we really pulled it off!

Posted: 1/5/05 at 1:13amI agree. My high school cast of Sweeney Todd never once got City on Fire right, or Pirelli's Miracle Elixer.

Putting it Together - Sunday in the Pari With George
Getting Married Today - Company
Herbue Fitch's Twitch - Redhead
Pity the Child - Chess
I Can Cook Too - On the Town (the lead-in is really tough and try singing "a brook trout right out of the brook")
Glitter and Be Gay - Candide
The Ballad of Sweeney Todd and God That's Good - Sweeney Todd (the chorus parts in Sweeney Todd are infinitely more difficult than any of the leads)
Theme from City of Angels - City of Angels
Gethsemane - Jesus Christ Superstar
A Little Bit of Good - Chicago (squeeze 'em tight, guys)
We Beseech Thee - Godspell (not too bad on its own, but if you're playing the character as written, it's a night of almost entirely high G's before you get to this song as well as playing recorder, then singing more high G's while dancing and the final high D in the stratosphere at the end)
