Sweeney Todd

Darla and I had another wonderful evening.  For Christmas, I got Darla the Broadway series here in Columbus.  The first show was Spamalot and we loved it.  Last night was Sweeney Todd.  I don't know how to approach this.  I don't know if its my own shortcomings or what, but this was absolutely terrible.  The actors did their jobs extremely well, acting, playing instruments, singing, but this was an extremely disturbing show.  It was mass exodus at intermission.  Darla and decided to work through the second act but couldn't wait for the curtain to drop.  Maybe I don't get some art.  Dar and I agreed that this was well outside of out comfort zone.  I had trouble following the show without the scene changes and trouble understanding what was being said.  Better luck next time at Wedding Singer, Camelot, Avenue Q, and Lion King.

Please don't base your opinion on mine.  This may be your bag.  I don't think that we'll be seeing the movie anytime soon.
