| If I'm not mistaken, "Teeny Todd" was the nickname given to the 1989 revival at Circle in the Square, directed by Susan H. Schulman, the first Broadway revival. It was sadly not recorded. The 2006 revival was also teeny but I don't think it was called that, and was small in a very different way than the 1989. | |

| You’re right about “Teeny Todd,” of course! Thanks for the correction. Now we need a different nickname for the Doyle production. How about “Teeny-Weeny Sweeney”? | |

| The Forbidden Broadway "Teeny Todd" was DEFINITELY pre-2006. | |

| Oh yeah, I forgot that's where the name came from. Yeah, that revival hasn't had much lasting impact in the annals of Broadway history... largely because it didn't win any Tonys, wasn't nominated for many (though it did get nods for Best Revival, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and there was no cast album or video recording made of it. I would say it is notable because it made Susan H. Schulman one of the few female directors nominated for a Best Direction Tony, it was also the first revival on Broadway of a Sondheim/Prince musical... Forum was revived in 1976 for a short run, but otherwise no other Sondheim show prior to 1989. And then the next one was in 1996 when the Nathan Lane Forum revival competed against the first Company revival (Forum won). If we count Gypsy then of course that had revivals in 1974 and 1989. There was of course the 1984 off-broadway revival of Pacific Overtures, but that was off. And Merrily was done in 1994 off-broadway, again directed by Schulman. Sad that we didn't get a cast recordings of Teeny Todd... unlike the Gypsy and Forum revivals, it was markedly different in approach and scope and orchestration than the original, and so I think justified an album... but of course, there are many reasonable reasons not to record a short lived revival that won no Tonys, had no stars, and opened just years after the OBC album came out. |
