Lost faith

As the premier of our production of Sweeney Todd comes, the more I lose faith of why I love this show... Sadly our director tries way too hard to rip off everything from Tim Burton, costume wise, character wise, everything about it. Even adding a flash back during Barber and his Wife, and everyone in the cast sucks, even I suck since I'm a baritone playing Beadle, so sadly I am so depressed about how this production is turning out I can't even love this show anymore, in fact I've lost faith in my singing, I just don't know what to do....

Actually there is a flashback during the Barber and his Wife/Poor Thing...
Yakko

I meant The barber and his wife song, not poor thing.

Yuck, when Barker gets hit by a policeman?

I have never been involved in shows before so I don't know what is the 'done' thing, but can't you just quit?

It would suck to be forced to hate such a great show as Sweeney Todd.

Copying the Tim Burton movie is so repulsive (Not saying the movie was bad at all, but I mean the fact that there is no originality).

Is there a website or something I can check this out?
Yakko

Afraid so, worst part I have to be in it which sucks because in our balled opening we are all wearing black. And I can't quit, firstly my costume coasted me $124.00, along with the fact were opening this week. And it's best not to look onto their website, aside from the fact I can't find the link...and I'm praying this is never EVER filmed! In fact I'm not even gonna put this in my resume I'm so embarrassed about it d'oh!

Is Sweeney going to have a white streak?

Is Toby a little boy?

what else is similar Razz.
Yakko

Well Tobais is a Kid, and a bad actor mind you(His last scene where he kills Sweeney sucks) I don't get to kill a bird, Everyone expect me and Turpin is copying the actors from the movie and no white streak

How did it go? I hope it magically became awesome.

A guy in my theatre group says that when we do this show next year, he is going to put a white streak in his hair during auditions, to show how Sweeney-ish he is. Rolling Eyes
Don't get me wrong, I love the white streak in the movie, but for him to do it as proof of his Sweeney-ness is so... I can't even think of the word.
Yakko

Well we sucked balls. We had hardly any applause in the entire show, no one laughed at any of the jokes. So in a way we failed miserably and I'm ever so sorry to ever be in that show... Crying or Very sad
dolbinau

That's so depressing Sad.

Tell me about, it's gonna take me a long time to heal and maybe to get me to another production od Sondheim's.

Man talk about a bummer.

I mean, a bad show is one thing, but a bad production of a good show...
