NEW SWEENEY PIX

Well it was my first time seeing the first two pictures, thanks Eug! This makes me more excited for this to come out.

I love how they cast age-appropriate actors for Johanna/Anthony. It's going to be startling to see such a young Toby. Poor poor Toby.

I'm sorry that we all can't be hot and up-to-date like you but some of us are too busy performing at Radio City.

Thanks Eugene now we just have to make it through November's boring fare..

It was just buried on page 2 B3!

"It's so weird seeing an actual 18-20 y/o as Anthony and not a 30something y/o, refreshing, but it's going to take some time getting used to.."


I was just in a production of 'Sweeney" and our Anthony was about 19 and our Joanna was 17. (And I have to say they did a fabulous job!) It really helped to create the sense of two generations of a family being ruined by the Judge.....not to mention increased the creepiness of the Judge's feelings for Joanna.

That said...this Anthony looks REALLY young.....however, it's just a picture...we'll have to see what he sounds like!

Anyone know if, since Toby is played by an actual 12 year old in this movie, they rearranged or changed his music? It's in an awkward spot for a 12 year old boy.....

Are there any photos of Toby? I can't seem to find any in the links. To be honest, I didn't realize the character was as young as 12. I've always thought of him as late teens or early twenties, but mentally or emotionally young.

I'm getting really excited to see this movie.

Thanks, best12!
I'll have to look for that film. I've seen only Ken Jennings and Manoel Felciano in that role.
