So this is the fun part in life where you have to sit around, after waking up much too early, to be able to call in to work to see if they need you today. This method works for some people that I work with, because they live near the mall. As for me, I leave an hour before my shift starts, therefore I have to get up, get ready, and then call them. If they don't need me? I'm stuck looking gorgeous with nothing to do.
Fun, right?
I went to see Sweeney Todd last night with some of my friends. I've seen it already, and yes, I was disappointed. It was very good as far as Tim Burton and his gang bang goes, but as far as Angela Lansbury and George Hearn are concerned, I was disappointed. For instance, I didn't feel one bit disturbed. Yes, the blood squirting was gross, but insanely fake, and that wasn't a big part of being disturbed in the broadway.
Things that I did love, though, were amazing. I loved By the Sea, even though the cut out some good lines. Not While I'm Around was really good, even though the little kid kind of forced his words out. I understand, though, he was a little kid. I did love how Mrs. Lovett seemed so attached to Toby, it made me tear up a little when she knew that they had to kill him.
As much as I love Helena Carter, though, she wasn't my Mrs. Lovett. She wasn't frantic enough, her singing was really good, but just not... Mrs. Lovett. Johanna was too pretty - both physically and her voice.
Oh, but I did love how Anthony let the lunatics attack Fogs. I missed all of City on Fire, Kiss Me, the Ballads, and just the parts where Towns People were supposed to be singing. I loved in the Broadway how they all gathered around and sang at the end, and some of them still had blood pouring down their necks. That was fucking creepy.
Well, it's about time to call work now.
....
They don't need me. Hurrah. Back to bed.
