Sweeney Todd – A Van Sexy Review

October 19, 2010 By Emme Rogers 1 Comment

A week ago, I didn’t know the Tale of Sweeney Todd, and as far as what expect from the show, I only really had this poster to go from:

So naturally, being pantie week and all, I assumed that I’d be scared out of my pant(ie)s.  What I got instead was very unexpected, for I found myself wrapped up in a love story that had me laughing so hard that I peed my panties …. and at cannibalism of all things.  Yes, I laughed myself silly over creepy bad lust, murder and cannibalism!  Wondering if that’s something I (or the medical system, hell society as whole) should be concerned over?

I was enraptured the second Cathy Wilmot (as Ms. Lovett) opened her mouth in song.  I think I have a new role model.  Wonder what my Mom would think to know that she’s been replaced by a pie maker, temptress and butcher, and not necessarily in that order?

So whilst the story of Sweeney Todd is a clever one with catchy music (who knew I’d find songs of serial murders so incredibly infectious), the true gift in enjoying this story was in the beauty in which Fighting Chance Productions told the tale – from the set dec, to the music, to the choreography and finally a cast of the most believably disgusting characters.  WOW!  And an especially huge WOW in reflecting on just how far this production house has come in the last year.  Initially, a production house I enjoyed for it’s infectious youthful exurberance, it has really grown up into something gruesomly wonderful.  Each show I go to, I am just more and more impressed, and I’m not the only one – they had a standing oviation Opening Night and before even the main cast had stepped on stage.

This is definitely your ticket to a Bloody Good Time this month and a date night thats bound to leave a lasting impression (luckily it didn’t seem to scare mine off).  Catch Sweeney Todd at Jericho Arts Centre between now and October 30th, 2010.

    […] Rent and Hair, but they have the perfectly delightful warped sense of humour for dark comedies like Sweeney Todd and Little Shop of Horrors.  I also find with such smaller musical numbers of the darker […]

Sample the “Drink Me” Potion at Your Own Risk

Don't try to find a beginning or an end to this site, because there's not one. That will only cause you frustration and I don't have the money for your therapy bills. Mine are already expensive enough.
