VERY clever words,almost Gilbertian,but lousy music.

Thanks for posting all of that, I had quite forgotten how clever "SWEENY TODD" was.

Yes. And I'm coming round to the music too.

Dare I say it...I'm being Sondheim-ified.

Green Finch and Linnet Bird is a haunting melody. And despite the atonality in parts...it suits the play. There is some amazing counterpoint too, that I had to recondition my melodic ear too.

I would LOVE it if you were here to see our show. I'll send you the DVD of it when its over. BUT nopardons, you gotta promise me that you will watch it, start to finish!
