Sweeney Todd
Thursday December 13 2007
It’s been 2 days since my friend threw his “The REAL… Sweeney Todd” party where he invited us over to watch Angela Lansbury and George Hearn. I haven’t seen Sondheim before, and didn’t know anything about the story of Sweeney Todd, but the musical certainly disturbed me! And while those around me cheered and laughed and had a gay ole’ time, I was in emotional distress wondering who was a bit off their rocker, them or me!
I told my friend afterward. It’s the kind of musical that I’m sure if I watched again two or three times, I’d appreciate it for it’s musical, structural, and compositional genius. But then again— I’m not sure I ever want to watch it— EVER…. I found it very disturbing.
Not sure if I want to really watch the Big Screen version, although I can’t imagine them making it as disturbing as the original musical. (The original has a rape and a masturbation scene for chrissake!)

Heh ... one of my favorite musicals, Cooper. But I like dark. And the truth is that people are pretty darn messed up. Sort of like all those people in the Bible.
I do thinks that it’s disturbing. I think one should be disturbed by it, though.
Now some things I really can’t handle, but that one I can. I don’t know why. Call me silly. Or twisted. Or both!
