| It is interesting to imagine possible cast choices had they accepted, but no one is tackling the real elephant in the room. Yes Sweeney is one of Sondheim's masterpieces, but it repulses a fair percentage of people, including die hard fans like me. I have and always will have limited tolerance for it. A few years ago two companies were doing Assassins and I ended up seeing both productions, a mere three weeks apart. I find, difficult as Assassins is, I doubt I would be willing to see Sweeney twice that close together. |
