  • Holy crap guys, that was incredible.

  • Comment removed

  • what meek applause for a fantastic performance.

  • ummm... what was with all of the dancing and the screaming? nice performance but the music of sweeny is operatic in nature as opposed to tradional musicals. but still good job

  • Ok so I agree that the skipping and the screaming was totally wrong and sweeney Todd is not that kind of musical bt did they direct it? If they did well then they need to look into it again bt I don't think they did. Though your voices were amazing!!!! :)

  • awesome interpretation =)

  • You know even though i do agree that some of the movements werent needed i still thought this was the best opening that i have seen of any highschool, thats the best part about drama, its open for interpretation. you could have done the same thing every highschool did *kudos on not goin all Johnny Depp on us* . but you didnt therefore i applaud you.

  • The screaming was unnessary,

    you guys have no apreciation to sondheim.

    you cant just add words in it sounds really stupid ( one of the male soloists)

    its NOT a dancy show, the skippy bits just totally destracted from the serious-ness of the song.

    I know your not professionals but this is possibly one of the WORST ballads of sweeney todd, it looked more like a halloween hairspray!

    (on the up side the lighting was good)

  • @HudsonSopranoUkulele Luv your comment, I think the same

  • WAY too much un-needed movement. Remember, theatre is NOT about dancing. Especailly when it's sweeney todd.

  • the vocals sound great, but i just dont like all the movement in this version. Part of the immense power of this number lies when the performers stand stone still the entire time. it freaks out the audience, aka if whoever directed this had done that, this would be the best youth version on youtube. the vocals again sound AMAZING

  • yea when we did sweeney todd witch was mane stage we could not hit the high note eather but other then that we had a grate show

  • oh wow that was sweet! nice job.

  • Not bad. But your light designer needs some instruction. Sorry.  I'm a light designer so I'm picky about that.

  • ... nice Chorus Line mirrors at the end.

  • Great production, but the screaming at the end was a little much

  • The screaming ruined it for me.

  • beside the awfull dancing thing this is good, but, WTF sweeney todd is such a powerfull musical, it doesn't requires dancing, it just kills its charming dark tune. good job anyway

  • @angeldemusik69 The Dancing actually helps It. My college put on a production of it and it was amazing!!!!! This one's almost as good. . . Not quite. . .

  • Not agree because it's much power full to send shivers down the audience's spine with anything but prescence and focusing energy but anyway that's my opinion. sweeney must be a powerfull musical, not a "

    "pseudo" singing-dancing-acting musical. It's too clichè

  • Our school is doing this musical :)

    Woo, go ensemble lol.

    The girls singing the high parts (including myself) are really loud, so we're hoping to cut it out, but it works really well. Maybe we'll keep it, lol. Then again, that is up to our director.

  • The sopranos were out of tune.

  • fantastic job!! that was amazing!

  • That was amazing~!

    I REALLY wanna do this with my choir... I'd love to be Sweeney, but I'm a girl.XP

    And I can sing as high as the women are supposed to sing in this song. :< cool

  • this was amazing overall the only part i really kinda didnt like was the screaming bit at the end it kind of made the performance seem younger and more immature but over fantastic!!!!

  • Whoooa~ we're singing this in our choir, but we can't sing NEARLY that high~ And we're not dancing, just standing and being bored. xD

  • Damn! Thats impressive!

  • Wow! Great job! That super high note near the end sounded a little sharp but hey that's not an easy note to hit but i love it! :)

  • @reidboy2009 even harder if it's sharp

  • the first guy was fantastic! nice performance!

  • Interesting... Parts were amazing and others were the opposite!

    The guy who sang the opening lines had a gorgeous voice and was really in character which is hard to do when your in the chorus.

    The dancing on the counter melody section.. It wasnt needed and it didnt aad to anything it was just distracting to all the melodys which (I know) took ages to work out, so why ruin it? A great job overall! Well done!

  • yea i didnt like the random dancing either..but it still was amazing

  • I did this with my choir, you guys were awesome!

  • That was amazing~!

    I REALLY wanna do this with my choir... I'd love to be Sweeney, but I'm a girl. XP

    And I can't sing as high as the women are supposed to sing in this song. :<

  • Amazing. The screaming at the end was an excellent bit.

  • they scared the shit outa me at the end

  • Dude I don't think the audience even knew how to react to that, cuz I sure didn't!!!

  • Wow...that was really good! never would of thought to do it that way...that was a good idea for the begining! Good job!

  • i love the staging and the creepiness! awesome job!

  • Amazing! I loved it! :)

  • yes they did, you know why? because I said so

    and I love david hasselhoff, I LOVE YOU ANDREW

  • I like the uniqueness but did you have to do the danceing?
