A Sweeney update:
I checked with T.J., the bagger to whom I loaned our copies of a) the Sweeney Todd Lansbury/Hearn DVD, and b) the Sweeney Todd libretto. He hadn't had a chance to see the Burton film yet, but tonight he and a group of his friends will be seeing it together, and then gathering at his home to watch the DVD, getting the two versions back to back.
How many make a group of friends?
Fifteen, he said.
Fifteen youngsters getting exposed to Sondheim!
Who says Sweeney Todd isn't a feel-good experience!
