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!

I could NEVER really get into Sondheim's later music; though you're right, the atonality fits "SWEENY TODD". What he did to "Edwin Drood", though, was enough to make this Dickens fanatic want to leave the theatre after Act 1. I didn't,but my husband and I were NOT happy at all. :-(

I'd LOVE a DVD of your production and swear in blood, that I'll watch it from beginning to end!
