I admit, I was a little slow to embrace the Genius That Is Sondheim. Troy made me see the light, and now I'm a believer.
Anyway, Troy and Rob and I went to see Sweeney Todd at Foothill last night. It was marvelous. Our seats were front row center (thanks to Miss Vicki), so close that we were practically on stage. It made the whole show, especially the numbers with the whole ensemble on stage, extremely visceral. The acting was great, the singing was marvelous, and it was delightful to get to see Jake singin' and dancin'.

Can I get a witness?! Aaaay-men! Worship the master of the lyric and the complex orchestrations that take time to get into your head, but then they will not leave...

They *won't* leave, not even with repeated blows to the head.

His hands were quick, his fingers strong.
It stung a little but not for long.
And those who thought him a simple clod
Were soon reconsidering under the sod,
Consigned there with a friendly prod
from Sweeney Todd,
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
See your razor gleam, Sweeney, feel how well it fits,
as it floats across the throats of hypocrites...
