Tuesday, February 14, 2012 I (continued from page 1) Tecth ‘Sweeney Todd' review in opera to bring sophistication to the role of Judge Turpin, and create a threeedimensional character whoa...]ohanna’s real-life father is playing Iudge Turpin #creepy? #sweeneytodd@ IIT Yes, as if Professor Hanlet doesn’t get the interesting and distinct honor of being one of very few faculty members to participate in a 33rd Street Production, he is also playing a character that lusts after his daughterefigure, who happens to be played by his realelife daughter The playbill also alludes to this comie cal, yet odd situation, stating “BTW, he claims to never having done [sic] anything creepier than singing lustfully after his own daughter?’ I thoroughly appreciate the tongueeinecheek clarification Also inthe main cast is Kevin Gomes with a delightful comical performance as the Italian coneman, Adolfo Pirelli, Elise Thrasher playing the Beggar Woman, Kunle Popoola, as the innocent Tobais Ragg, Neal Ansani as dawdling Beadle Bamford, and Erik Johnson playing Jonas Fogg, the insane asylum wardent The lleperson ensemble was won, derfult Each member did a fantastic job in sup, port of the main cast, and I always have tree mendous respect for the chorusemembers, as they work just as hard, if not harder than the larger roles, to create a better experience for the audience Pretty women, pretty awesome duet #partyonwayne #sween eytodd@IIT The most notable performance in my opinion, and my favorite part, of the mu, sical was a duet between Mitchell and Hanlett Their rendition of “Pretty Women” conveys the proper tension between the characters of Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin that I find necessary in that scene Though I’ve heard the song before (the aforementioned Tim Burton movie), the pair’s melodic entanglement is nothing short of perfection, and most defie nitely rivals the movie version of the song The only complaints I have for the actors were the accentst I was so confused, some actors had them, others didn’t As the play is set in 19th century London, I would have loved over, exaggerated Cockney accents, or something more resembling English accents, but I’m just a fan of consistency and historical accuracy, it didn’t take away from the overall performance Though I must say, Gomes did a brilliant Ital, ian accent in his interpretation of Pirelli. I LOVE THE CHAIR! #soupsim- pressed #sweeneytodd@IIT For the resources 33rd Street Prof ductions has access to, they did an amazing job in transforming the Hermann Hall Audie toriumt It really felt like a theatre, though the lighting and sound could use a little fine tune ing, I understand the diflicultiest As for the set, I appreciated the 19th century costume, and was absolutely delighted by costume changes in Act II (what canI say? I’m a sucker for fun clothes) The icing on the cake was most definitely the barber chairt 33rd Street Productions’ Set Construction crew rigged it so Sweeney Todd’s victims actually fell down to their fate below It was an adrenaline rush every time Mitchell pulled the handle The music was performed flawlessly by the ore chestrat I absolutely loved it, though I will say that the beep used to startle the audience, and to add to the tension and ghoulish feeling of the performance, was absolutely enragingt It scared me every single time, jumping in my seat, but in some odd way made the experience bettert Director/Technical Director, Brian Lynch, took a page in the playbill to express his “Early Morning Thoughts " that included an eloquent statement summing up his feel, ings about theatre, and this production, that I felt necessary to mention, because it’s easy to be cynical and list all of the negative things that were in this performance, only to insult to the people who worked for months to bring an audience a few hours of entertainment “5:27 am: The support of people who have volune teered their time to be here has been inspire ingt Even when those onestage had been told to go home after a rehearsal ran late into the morning, they insisted it would be helpful to stay and work through some technical issues in the show with our backstage crew," Lynch stated in the playbillt “Why do I do this? It is not for myself; for the glowing lights nor the name on a poster or in a program I do this to offer everyone a chance to be something they may never have been before W a community sharing their very own differences between a common goal Not just a performance? ' “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" will be playing next weekend on Friday February 17 at 7:30 pm, and Saturday February 18 at 1 pm and 7:30 pm (the last performances) in the Hermann Hall Auditoe rium for all of those still interested in seeing this murderous musicalt Want to write your own review of “Sweeney Todd” or rant efr rave aboutsomething else?
