Sweeney Todd

In my neverending (jk -- it'll end) quest to find worthwhile things in New York, I went to this musical last night. I'd never seen it before, but it turns out it's probably the only musical that's ever needed to be made. Brilliantly dark, angry, bloody, mean, sharp, and personal. If you ever get the opportunity...

Not that I know of, but I haven't given it much of an opportunity. I saw a few way back in BYU days (Don Giovanni, a really crappy student production of Barber of Seville, the Magic Flute, Parsifal) -- but none of them stuck with me.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for on-stage slashings? It's a hard hypothesis to test. I'm gonna go again once I got another L-note saved up.

I played in the pit orchestra for that production of the Magic Flute. It was '90 or '91, I believe. Good times.

SeattleUte didn't write the quote; Outlier did.

That would've been the performance all right -- somewhere in the 90/91 school year. I remember the [your instrument] section sounding especially good that night. :)
