Sweeney Todd

Last night Edon and I got Giordano's Chicago style pizza, I know it isn't as good as Gino's East, but it was across the street from the theater and it is pretty good. We then saw Sweeney Todd.



It was really good. It was really different from what I thought it would be. The scene was really simple, it was a parlor backdrop that was smaller than the stage with a hard wood raise floor. It was like a smaller stage set on top of the real stage. The other interesting style was that there was no pit, the actor were also musicians and they played the score, sang and acted, so no one ever left the stage. It was really interesting see the actors use the instruments with the acting. I really liked it. It's nice having Broadway in Chicago.

Do you remember me, Derek? What are you talking about?! Giordanos is so much better than Ginos! We live here in the Chicagoland area too. Where do you guys live?
