Posted: 9/5/08 at 6:31pmNo Way! I was so looking forward to Judy Kaye when it came around. Oh well.

Posted: 9/6/08 at 2:14amGood, this time it's playing within 30 minutes of my house. I won't have to travel to Boston and then Denver like I did for the first tour.

Posted: 9/6/08 at 6:11amWell, looks like I'm going to Mansfield, Ohio on April 6th. Nothing will compare to my memories of the previous touring cast, but I've got to check this one out.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 3:32pmYes she does. I like Lovett with bleach blonde hair.

I am puzzled as to why they didn't give johana Blonde Hair
#15re: Sweeney Todd tour
Posted: 10/14/08 at 8:15pmBut the lyric about her blonde hair is still in the show.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 8:16pmJohanna didn't have blonde hair in the original version of Doyle's staging, either. It's called suspension of disbelief.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 8:21pmby original you mean the playhouse production , or the broadway production, because I'm pretty sure she was a blonde on broadway

Did the Doyle production start on Broadway? No.
I mean the version that began at the Watermill.

Posted: 10/16/08 at 12:58amMy Friend Duke Anderson is playing Anthony. I did a production of Cabaret with him last summer. Wonderful actor, wonderful singer and a lovely guy.

Is it just me, or does the angle of the razor make it look like Mrs. Lovett just sent a naughty text message in this pic?

Posted: 10/16/08 at 1:01pmSaw it in Hartford last night - I am not much of a reviewer but give it a B+ - Mrs. Lovett was very good.
