Just as a side note? Sweeney is my favorite show...ever. Brilliant, brilliant work of art...with all that that entails. heightened sense of drama, moments of very dark humor, haunting score. Incredible.

And this will be on a very intimate level.

I saw what is famously known as the "Teeny Sweeney" at the Circle in the Square theatre in NY, and it was an entirely different experience than seeing the original (and huge) Broadway production. But it was a very powerful experience.

Don't miss this opportunity...if you're an actor...to be in it. If you're an audience member...to see what Jay and FMT do with it.
