Strange laughter at Sweeney last night — Page 2

I agree that the Judge's Johanna is a very...awkward scene, though it really does reveal a lot about the character. I'd much rather hear him sing that then just mention in a line, "And I find myself lusting for you." I also agree that laughing during the final scene would seriously drive me to punch someone. It is SUCH a gripping scene, and so powerful, and if someone laughed, well, I'd have a word with them afterwards. Though, I say that now, but my word with them afterwards would be me complaining about it the entire train ride home.
