In case anyone needs the link.
I think this could be okay if Cerveris has the right direction. I like him alright, but I think he is sometimes, well, plain. I did not love him in Assassins as much as everyone else did.

Posted: 4/27/05 at 7:24pmJeez do Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone have to be in every single Sondheim production. He sure must like them.

Posted: 4/27/05 at 7:27pmAndddd the article all but confirms that LuPone will be in the show. So it's just a hair away from being official. I can't wait!

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

YAY!
SO excited about this production!
#17re: Michael Cerveris Confirmed for SWEENEY in Sweeney Todd
Posted: 4/27/05 at 8:14pmI love him and am glad for he, however, and I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but isn't he like 15 or so years younger than Patti? True make-up works wonders, and Sweeney Todd may be younger than Mrs. Lovett, that's kinda the impression I got from Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou......

Posted: 4/27/05 at 8:15pmEnhh. I'm not too sure If I'm thrilled with all the buzz about this production. I'm fine with Cerveris, although he seems a bit young. I enjoyed alot of Patti's Lovett in the concert version, but I was really hoping for someone new to the role, as I'm probably only going to be able to hear the possible cast recording. I'm also having a hard time imagining Sweeney without an Orchestra or Chorus.

Unhappy.
If they use London production, what is the point of using star?
If they use star, why not let Stokes in?

Posted: 4/27/05 at 8:33pmThis is absolutely horrid news. I can think of 180 other people who are better for the role.
