Sweeney Todd! (October 16-18, 22-24)
Oct. 17th, 2009 12:13 amThis weekend and next, I'm playing clarinets (bass, soprano, and sopranino) in the Metro Stage Company's production of Sweeney Todd. The production is excellent, the cast is spectactular, and even the orchestra is beautiful!
Tonight was opening night, and it went swimmingly, especially for an opening night. The remaining performances are the 17th, 23, and 24th at 8pm, an early Thursday show at 7:30pm on the 22nd, and 2pm matinee this Sunday (the 18th).
If you've never seen Sweeney, let me advise you that it's ... rather dark. Not exactly a Halloween show, but not far from it:
