Sweeney Todd: throats slit; cast hospitalised.

Oh my, that's terrible, glad to hear that they were okay. A little odd that they wouldn't just use a prop razor. Even with all that protection, I think it would be just as easy to find a simple prop rather than the real thing. Well, either way, glad that they're alright.

I don't remember what I ended up purchasing, but I know I had to dull the blades, too. Took forever by hand. I'm going to guess that there was a rough knick on the blade that cut them.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Why would the show have continued for a second throat to have been slit? Shouldn't it have been stopped the first time it happened?


Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

For the TV show Dexter, John "Trinity Killer" Lithgow was asked about having his cheek cut by Dexter's scalpel. He responded that the scalpel was a prop. "Blood" exuded from channels in the scalpel to look like blood. There is probably a safe razor prop that can be used for Sweeney Todd productions.

My first thought is that it must have been during the "Johanna-Quartet" when he gets the new chair.

I was surprised they used a real blade too - and in a high school production, yet. Even if you're super careful, that's a naked razor blade you've got there. Just get a prop and then you don't have to worry about it.
