Things better left unsaid

Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango...

Although I haven't seen this production, I'm more used to hearing the word fandango in Sondheim's The Miller's Son, or else, being used as a Spelling Bee word at the 25th Annual Puntam County Spelling Bee contest. :)

The Dora Award-winning musical We Will Rock You, in which 32 songs of Queen energize a futuristic story of a world where music is banned, will close at Toronto's Canon Theatre May 11. It will have played more than a year there.

So, the movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter opens tonight. :)

And I'm wrapping up this mini-flurry of Sweeney Todd posts with the First National Tour videorecording audio-tracks... with Angela Lansbury and George Hearn. T'was filmed in LA during the first national tour of 1980/81.

I think I've managed to keep my Sweeney's separate by remembering Michael Cerveris (and David Garry) as bald!Sweeney, David Hess as haired!Sweeney, and Alexander Gemignani as balding!Sweeney.

This afternoon's performance was different from my memories of the opening night (11.06) with small changes in staging and choreography that tightened the production some more. :) With the exception of Mr. Cougher (behind me), it was so easy to be drawn into this revival of Sweeney Todd. :) If it's even possibly, I've fallen even more in thrall with Ms Kaye's Lovett... :)

I was rather late in framing the balance of the signed playbills... especially since I've had these ones assembled since the Spring. O+O; Ooops. I don't have Cliffton and Deedee Magno Hall's auto's, but I'll have to live without ;)

I still have to book tickets to this. And Sweeney Todd. Oh, but to get through August first...

Ms Hilty and Ms Bean use Sharpies, but Mr Benjamin uses a silver thin pen. Hence, I haven't taken a picture of his auto...
