It was performed at Signature Theatre, a small-ish local theatre that does contemporary musicals and plays as well as classic musicals. I had never been before and I was quite impressed. The theatre moved to a new location in 2007 that I can only describe as warehouse chic. There is exposed particle board, pipes and metal sheeting and contemporary art pieces throughout. They also do a lot of creative things with lighting.
Sweeney Todd was performed in the larger of the two theatres but it was still quite small, probably 300 seats. I'd never seen the show before and had no idea what to expect. I liked the story and thought a lot of the songs were funny. Not quite the type of musical I'd normally see but I had a nice time.
Thank you to Surburban Princess for being my theatre twin today. :-)
Just finished dinner and about to head to the play.
A few pictures of the theatre. Unfortunately JDD wouldn't let me take a picture of the stage and set. Boo!
This theatre was having a tribute to Sondheim and had a cool display of drawings of all their productions of his shows. A few from previous productions of Sweeney Todd.
