Sweeney Todd last night 7-11-06 (kinda long) — Page 2

one more interesting bit of information that I forgot to write...Mano mentioned during the talkback that he was intially seen (and up to the last audition) for the role of Anthony and even learned Kiss me on the violin. He said the casting directors wanted the lovers to both play the cello and he tried to accomadate with the violin! From my understanding, Diana Dimarzo and Ben Magnusom went through the first round of auditions and didn't get a call back until the very end when casting directors were changed/ John Dolye saw them (or something to that extent).

This show had me floating out of my seat from the get go.
By far the best show ever (I saw the original three times!)
I could not stop bravo-ing and boy am I glad I was in row three.
