Argh. I want to come to NYC to see this show.
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

This production looks great... Honestly, the major thing bringing me there to see it is Patti... I just hope it's still on Broadway by next summer... I can't return until then.

Great Picture! But I wish there was more than one.

Wow, Fiatlux! I thought it was the Broadway revival cast! The similarities are remarkable. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Ah, great photo! Patti looks just fantastically crazy, and I love that sly freaky grin that Cervaris has...superb. I'm excited to see some clips soon!

Patti looks like she's auditioning to be the lead singer for A Flock of Seagulls.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

By the by, I've heard Sondheim is *very* pleased with this production.

Patti to me looks little bit like Kelly Osbourne in that pic..
-Was that a fart?
-My fault, I fear.

Very cool pic, but i notice that Mike C. is wearing a standard, current men's tie. Is this new production of Sweeny set in today's era and no longer a period piece?

Re: Costume. It's not set in any particular time, and certainly it's not specifically set in Victorian London.

So let me get this straight. Each of the cast members plays an instrument. That's it for the orchestra? There are no off-stage musicians? Doesn't that affect the grandeur of Sondheim's masterpiece?

It's a very different interpretation of the piece. Rather like the RNT and Chris Bond's version it concentrates on the characters and their motivations,making it a chamber piece as Sondheim originally intended. The actors use the instruments and music to explore their subtext in a quite startling way.
