Since the sound system was awful at the David Copperfield show, Abbie and I were able to get free tickets to see Sweeney Todd at the Barbara B. Mann on Tuesday. We were seriously upgraded with our seats for ST. This time we had floor seats about 7 rows in from the stage.
Even though we had amazing seats, we still couldn’t hear anything that was going on. Not because of the sound system this time, but rather the whole musical was told through song and we couldn’t comprehend what they were saying! I’ve seen musicals before and they’ve always been a mix of songs and acting- there were maybe three spoken words through the whole thing and no scene changes! By the end of the play Abbie and I had two completely different ideas of what it was actually was about.
We are going to rent the movie now so that #1- we can figure out what the hell was going on and #2- so we can be snobs and say things like “I saw the play it was sooo much better!”
Random thought- If Sweeney Todd wasn’t his real name why didn’t he choose to call himself Todd Sweeney instead? It makes more sense.
