Last night was our first rehearsal for Sweeney Todd, and exactly one month from opening night. We worked on a number of ensemble pieces, including "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" and "Pirelli's Miracle Elixir." The first time the entire cast belted out "Swing your razor..." I must admit I got goosebumps...it never gets old, even on the third go-round. This show has been a part of my life for 12 years now...unbelievable. We also got a look at some of the set design and heard our director Ryan Mooney's vision for the show - this is going to be a visually arresting, sexy, bloody, spectacle of a production. I can't wait! Here are some of the fantastic promo shots taken by Devin Karringten:
The Judge, the Beadle, and the Beggarwoman.
