Some folks don't get blogging
So I had dinner with a dear friend of mine this weekend who also happens to be in the ensemble of "Sweeney."
With the blog in the back of my mind I asked him: "So, how's it going?"
Him: "It's going really good."
Me: "How are James & Diana [Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett] doing?"
Him: "They're doing really good."
Me: "How's Keite [Johanna] doing?"
Him: "Really good."
Me: "Hmmm...any good rehearsal stories?"
Him: "Hmmm, can't think of any."
And so on.
I did learn from him how they're managing to handle one of the signature set pieces of any production of "Sweeney", the barbershop and extra, special barber chair. But I don't even want to give that away, since if you don't know the show it's quite a turning point when that chair shows up!
Sigh.
