  • Way to copy the Original Broadway production.......

  • I love it!! I know the man playing Sweeney, so this is very amusing to watch!!

  • @1037pm i agree, lovett was too chipper. lovett is supposed to be slightly darker than this actress was playing it.

  • i LOVE Lovett, shes very good

  • Agreed! whoa.

  • I cant say there was overacting because i am not sure how these actors interpreted the character fully.

    However...mrs lovett took too many liberties with the song. In and out of accent. In and out of singing and speaking. goodness

    todd...well he wasnt very scary and didnt sound like a bass/baritone to me...so...im nto sure whats with that.

  • Whoa!!!! sweeney's a tenor!?interesting....

  • I was there! They always over act, you should have see The Scarlet Pimpernel.... And I saw My One and Only yesterday, big to-do in Phelps.

  • Plus if you had done your research you would have learned that the reason Todd does not have an accent typically and Lovett does is because they wanted to give the impression that he had shed it on his return to England, so that the resemblence would not be as striking. And I am sorry, you are not the only one who has played Sweeney, and the way you so subtly through that little tidbit into your comment for no real reason makes it seem that you think you are special, the definitive Todd. Rude.

  • Alright. . .the original melodrama was written for the "blood tubs" in the late eighteen hundreds, then Christopher Bond adapted it into a new script(and he was english) for his theatre company in the 1960's and gave it the basic plot that made it into the musical. However, Sondheim saw Bond's play adn wanted to adapt it into a musical which was originally supposed to be all music. When that was impractical, they hired wheeler to write the book. It was always intended to premier on broadway.
