  1. @HitFixGregory It's a terrific musical, ruinable only by Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.
  2. @jmittell But the periodical need to pixelate Krysten Ritter's nudity would be a problem with an audience. Or a "problem."
  3. @mingle But some people LIKE Cosette, don't they? I don't especially, but I thought I'd heard rumors...
  4. And, like Gallagher shows, all productions of "Sweeney Todd" should have splash zones.
  5. @FayebellineW Well yes. That's very funny. Frequent Anglophile though I am, I can't make myself understand Eurovision.
  6. @AlyssaRosenberg So that's a "No," right?
  7. @AESPiano But did you care about Anthony and whether or not that portion of the musical resolved "happily"?
  8. @skittledog She also has at least one song and a reprise containing her name. No character, but a name!
  9. Has anything ever seen a production of "Sweeney Todd" in which Johanna and Anthony were interesting?
  10. @Jaymii I've been greeted with a Bieber-esque fervor for a couple days now...
  11. @FayebellineW I have no point-of-reference for Ball, so I missed the reinvention people were loving. Stauton's terrific.
  12. @SazzyMCH Yup. The weather in London has been as pleasantly temperate as e'er I've seen it. [Still a bit warm.]
  13. Tonight's London theatre: "Sweeney Todd" w/Imelda Stauton as Mrs Lovett. Unlike in the movie, these actors can sing.
  14. @losthero47 Due to my traveling, it's unclear when podcasting will occur this week. But definitely not today... @sepinwall
  15. DVR Gridlock 2012-13: Monday Nights - bit.ly/KXCPx5
  16. I expected The CW's "Breaking Pointe" to have less hallucinated lesbian sex than "Black Swan." But THIS much less?
  17. "Mad Men" makes its way to iTunes very quickly. Reflecting on that episode is gonna take a bit longer.
  18. TV Review: History's 'Hatfields & McCoys' - bit.ly/JPllB9
  19. Dev from "Smash" is playing Billy in London's "Chicago." Somebody cast Pauly Shore as The Phantom to retaliate.
  20. Cillian Murphy was crazy-good in "Misterman." Just an epic physical performance.
