actually, a lot better than i was expecting. for such a young group, there is quite a lot of prescense. Only critiques are that would be that there should not be so many people on stage at once if only a few sing. the voices get lost in the crowd. also, the choreography seemed a little... "ok, we were told to move here, so we're going to" . something i expect from a high-school age and under group, but a little upsetting since the presence of character is so good everywhere eles
Wow the music is just brilliant, it's like there a prescense or something! Anyway! I thought that was really good, accents were great, good atmosphere created, although on the bars up to the counter meoldy I felt the chorus was pushing the tempo and a few more of the chorus deadly serious like the rest would have improved. Well done!
This production lacks the energy needed for such a strong show. The cast looks bored onstage, as opposed to menacing. Also, great job emulating the 1982 touring cast's blocking step for step.
@urbanmyth169 actually when i was directed in this show, we were directed to look blank. and therefore neutral. as not all characters in this show are menacing. so its not just these kids. give them a break, they did a good job.
I like everybody but Sweeney. If hes Asian there is no disrespect meant by this comment (I have a younger sister from China) but it seems to me he is like squinting the whole time =/
wow. Amazing! Great job. I've seen a lot of terrible school plays (and one's they put on youtube and so) this is nothing like it. simply amazing. the filming and that make it seem professionally done (ya I now I can't spell) I would watch this whole play if it were avaiable. Especially by these students
this wuz awesome!!!! i wuz just in a camp where one of the numbers i did wuz this one. they most likely did it like the actual show. No offense, but i think ours wuz creepier lol
I agree with most everyone- this is quite impressive!! I tell ya, if my highschool had done Sweeney Todd, I'd have been first in line to audition *cries*
Though, middle schoolers....I think are a little young for the subject matter ^^'' Perhaps not, but I know when I was in grade 7 Sweeney Todd would have scared the shit out of me XD
This is really cool.. I hope my school next year will perform this xD I was in the make up crew for our school's previous performance: Wonderful Town..
I wish our school did this. Hell, we almost did Rocky Horror but our Shakespeare-addicted director quashed the idea, even though everyone else approved.
Cool. Nice and clear, and you manneged to catch the proper mood behind the song. You know, somthing that srort of hints at somthing that's dark and a mistry. It's a better job then some of the grown-up performences I've seen of this. Good work.
I'm playing Mrs Lovett in our school's production of the Bond play (the play that inspired Sondheim to write the musical!) I wish to Gid we were doing the musical, but my Drama teacher hates them, but we're doing the next best thing!
post the whole thing! this is great! i love the fact that its a high school production. just goes to show there are alot of good talents at that age. again great job!
my school is currently doing "BatBoy the Musical." opening night is January 30!! i am stage manager! i am so nervous about it! my teacher said that he was gonna do this musical but said we couldn't because its on broadway and its illegal. aw well, im still going to see Sweeney Todd when it comes to Houston in June!!
But about the music, I have a hunch that it's the original cast recordings playing and everybody singing along with it, except for the solos. The chorus parts sounded way too rounded out for the twenty or so people up there.
But this looks very professional. Once again, WHAT SCHOOL DO YOU GO TO? (Because I want to go!)
THAT SO WASN'T ME!! I SWEAR!! It' was my older brother who just did that becos he's pissed i like Johnny Depp more than him!! Believe me or not but i really think Johnny is one of the best actors in the world. I love all his movies like Edward Scissorhands!!
UGG! I wish my school would do this musical. i requested to do it, but they said it wouldnt be appropriate for school. I'm like. No way! All my friends agree w/ me!
Wow! Very good! When I read the description and it said "7th-12th Graders" I'm thinking, "Just a normal, mediocre youth production". But I was wrong! Very good! Especially considering it's not even adults.
Very impressive. This music requires a careful approach and is of great sophistication. The orchestra (assuming it is live) sounds really very good - this music is very hard. Sounds like the principals have good pipes, which is essential. Curious to see/hear more.
how is it done on stage when the narrators crowd up in a bundle, and then suddenly sweeney appears out of thin air? was the actor hiding behind the oven?
I would really like to see the number "My Friends" Judging by the performance from this and God that's Good, I'd really like to hear it. If you don't mind.
5 Stars...great job to you and your fellow cast members
ohh I know...I had a typo there I meant being in a catholic school but instead put beign catholic. sorry about that. Yeah I know that but my school would never do a play like that. they say its *sinning against god" *rolls eyes*
Very impressive for a high school. (My own high school did a non-musical version of this, and I was the judge ^^) I don't think the Sweeney for your play looked very much the part and he looked a little...bored almost.
very impressive for a high school level production, the instrumental version of this song accompanies the opening titles of the Tim Burton film of Sweeney Todd that opens on Friday.
WOW!!!!!!!! for high schoolers and younger, that was amazing!! seriously, i just saw the show, and harmonies are spot on- and they're reallllly hard!!! Congrats to all- do you have more vids from this? if you do, can you post them? i'd like to see the rest of their show!
Wow. This is quite an undertaking for such a young cast. The music and harmonies are extremely complex, not to mention the dark tone of the production. But for your age range, you guys pulled it off pretty well. This is a hard musical to perform with even experienced singers.

This is quite good for such a young cast (not that I should be talking, I'm in 11th grade). However, those who didn't bother practicing the difficult jumps dragged everyone else down when they missed. I would've maybe gotten a few more background choir singers just for certain parts in the song, since the younger people can't quite give it the boom it usually has.
Wow that was really great! It reminded me of the production I saw about a month ago with adult actors. I wish my school was doing Sweeney Todd...maybe next year :D
What a fantastic production! Very impressive for high school students. Thanks for sharing. Wow, you guys can really sing! Will have to check out the rest. -Debbie
that's pretty darn good!!! and yeah seventh grade seems a little young to be doing this kind of production, but whatever. not here to judge.
