Thank you so much for your detailed response! I've printed it out to save!



One thing I'd love to hear you expand on is when you say Loudon was "Some of her choices were fascinating and very effective. Some were fascinating but arguably misguided"

I'm so fascinated Loudon in the role. Mostly because we almost went to see it when I was a small kid and then my parents thought it would be inappropriate and at the last minute we went across the street to Sugar Babies instead which I didn't really like. Then as I grew up and I became to realize that Sweeney was such a classic....well I always felt damn. I could have seen it. (granted it probably would have gone over my head at the time and maybe even freaked me out so I guess my parents were right. But still......This and Carrie are my two big theater going regrets.

This is far, far less detailed than Alan's response, but I remember there were two reasons why I really didn't care for Loudon in the role: (1) her lower-class-Brit accent sounded way off, and I don't think anyone can work in that role if she can't do the accent properly; (2) as I recall, Loudon belted ALL of the high notes -- I don't remember her going into a soprano extension at all, if she even had one -- and I didn't like the way that sounded.
