I can't wait to see Sweeny Todd for a second time. I may end up going with a work friend after the new year. I may like it less the second time, or perhaps more - but that will be the real test for me. It appealed to me on so many different levels (with the exceptions I wrote about in the "outing" thread). It probably made a big difference that I had very little familiarity with any previous production and, therefore, no expectations. I also have become less of a fan of the Broadway Musical as of late. While I still like a few for nostalgic reasons, I don't find most of them to be very compelling.
