Anyone else not liking the new "Sweeney" site that much? It used to have a lot of pictures and even a video preview. Now, the homepage is a calendar, and you have to find everything through the sitemap. the video preview is also gone and the photos have been reduced to ten, three of which are thoe promotion pics of Patti and Michael with the meathooks.
One improvement: desktop wallpapers and buddy icons.

Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:55pmI really don't like it. It's not as interesting or as intruiging as the old one.

To find the wallpapers, go to www.sweeneytoddonbroadway.com and click on "Site Map". Select downloads from the list.
Or...click this: http://www.sweeneytoddonbroadway.com/sweeneytodd_downloads.php

Posted: 6/27/06 at 1:02pmI must confess, I never liked the meathook pictures.

Posted: 6/27/06 at 1:07pmI hate the homepage, but once you get past the site map I actually like it a lot better. The old website was difficult to find the pictures ect.

I just went bakc and it's different...again. Now the video plays on the homepage and the menu is at the left side of the screen. The calendar is still there, but now below the video as opposed to THE homepage. Looks better, and I'm starting to like it better (despite the fact that the original site was still better).

Posted: 6/27/06 at 2:56pmI find that it's probably one of the worst homepages for a Broadway musical.... they should make it more interesting! It deserves better!

Posted: 6/27/06 at 3:10pmI see it now and am not very happy. I mean, its a good representation of the show but isnt too interesting. The probelm is they they dont have a huge amount of sets and designs to work from. It is a very bare show, and the website reflects that.

Posted: 6/27/06 at 3:17pmI don't know if I'm seeing what the rest of you are seeing, but it looks pretty good to me. The video is wonderful, and its easy to navigate. Plus, the wallpapers/buddy icons are very nice.

Posted: 6/27/06 at 3:18pmI love it! It tells more about the show, and the backgrounds are amazing.

Posted: 6/27/06 at 4:40pmIt's fantastic compared to the UK Tour site which doesn't have biographies and still 'coming soon' for sights & sounds when the tour has already ended!
