Sweeney Todd is

so good it should be illegal. I haven't really sat down and listened to it in awhile, but I just listened to the whole first act and even though I know it *better* than the back of my hand, it's still amazing.

I cannot WAIT for the DVD to come in, but Amazon hasn't even shipped it yet! I don't think it's due to arrive until the middle of January. :( I still have it on VHS, but I don't know if the VCR is set up here and we don't even have a working on at the condo. I'm gonna need to get a new copy of the OBCR too, cuz I had to skip over the end of the Pirelli scene all the way to "Ladies in Their Sensitivities" since those tracks skip so much and that is completely unacceptable!

I'm still convinced that from "Pretty Women" to the end of Act 1 are some of the best moments in any musical that has ever existed.

Gah, I need to watch this show again, and soon!

(I love that photo of the original cast! I guess they had to joke around once in awhile, cuz having to do that show day after day is probably not good for one's mental health, hehe)
