is this the school edition?? im looking to hopefully direct the school edition and im surprised they kept all the music...

[introspecttheatre]

@benjamminjensen Yes this is the school edition. Not much was changed. The Judge's number was removed and there are alternative lyrics in a few spots but those are the major adaptations.

The set looks more intense than most stage productions i have seen (in person)

That is insanely impressive!

I dont mind the movie look so much, but I think they really could have done without the wig for Sweeney, that's just distracting, he could have just used his own hair and idk sprayed the white/grey streak in But anyways, awesome production. I wish my school would do that, but I honestly think given my Sweeney knowledge, my school would disappoint me and prob just destroy the show

@FleetStreetNightmare Thank you so much for the comments. As far as the wig goes, that was at the actor's request. We did need to wig him though, he had really short curly hair and looked too clean cut. We needed something to make him look more 'menacing'.

That set is amazing! But I don't like some of the staging choices and neither your sweeney nor your mrs lovett can act. They're only good singers.

[introspecttheatre]

@KevCantStop Thanks for your comments! It is a melodrama so I know the actors were told to overplay it. The staging definitely could be better.

Yeah I hate it when people mimic the movie "because thats what it is supposed to look like." Come on people have some creativety and do something original!

We're doing this! I'm playing the role of Mrs. Lovett, and I hope to do it just as well as she did! she was spectacular! xx xx

[pangaroo333]

did you guys do this by student request or did the director of the drama club just happen to choose this ???

[Arlgm]

The Mrs. Lovett performance was great (as was Todd's). Although I always have to watch her die; I just Love the last bit she sings, so much emotion, no matter how not right in the head she was.

[LightsCameraAaron]

I love it how everyone claped on poor Mrs. Lovett died. The scene was good and dramatic, don't get me wrong, but the clapping made me lol!

Mrs.lovett, get, it together

[BombalurinaLestrange]

Mrs. Lovett!!!!

[FleetStreetNightmare]

@introspecttheatre lol oh if his curly hair grew out a bit longer they could have just used that I guess. but yea I get what you mean. Anyways great job! Im still jealous that my school cant do this, we fail at life :P
