Thank you for your honesty! I saw it last night and it was super cold out, so fortunately there wasn't AC to deal with!

2 out of 5?! That's understandable but crazy

Always thrilled when an understudy or alternate kills it! Love your reviews.

1- Sweeney Todd is a role for baritones or lower. So why are two tenors playing the role this year? 2- I always thought while she's talented, Ashford is way too young and pretty to be the older, brasher Lovett, one of the few lead roles that middle-aged women who aren't as perfectly pretty can aspire to. I DO think Sutton Foster is a perfect choice to take over Lovett though.

While I do think Ashford is pretty, I don't think she was very pretty in the show. They did her dirty with that horrible wig and makeup and costuming. Her physical comedy was top-notch and at no point in the musical did I question if she was right for the role. I was too busy laughing and crying at her shenanigans.

wdym 2 tenors playing sweeney todd? i can only think of tveit

Broadway is a union shop so tickets price are not cheap. But then again NYC is expensive in general. I lived there for 11 years.

What’s the seating like in broadway is it setup for fat American. I’m 6’8 and would want to be more comfortable than the west end

My husband and I just saw it last night and the seats are definitely small. Maybe the website has the exact dimensions? My husband is 6'4" and his knees were touching the chair in front.

Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton nailed it

hi mr rofl waffles

The music isn't layered throughout the show? That comment tells me all I need to know about your reviewing acumen. If noise prevented you from being able to listen properly, thats one thing. But to claim structure problems pegs you as a Broadway nube. Study your history before thinking your opinions have merit. Youll find you will be a better critic and you'll enjoy the shows so much better. Are you aware with yhe Dies Irae? You should be if you are reviewing this show. Anyway its cool that you're seeing shows, but get some more research under your belt or us old 40 year olds will want to turn our hearing aids off when you begin to speak.

Sondheim himself often said that even if the audience didn't pick up on specific musical references (i.e. the dies irae in like every song in ST) they would feel them. If a reviewer feels that the show isn't tied together musically as well as it could be that's a valid criticism because the feeling of togetherness was what the author intended, not a wink and a nudge every time they hear a music school easter egg.
