Petite Guignol

We saw the current Broadway production of Sweeney Todd on Saturday night.

If you at all love theater, go see this show.

If you are a performer, director, or producer, go see this show NOW.

( Complete review (contains plot spoilers and very minor production spoilers) )

But Doyle and his performers have taken a work in danger of being produced so often that it loses its artistic freshness, and reframed it so that it becomes an exciting, challenging, new theatrical work. Zero kvetches. See this show.
