Groban strikes me as bizarre casting and I am not looking forward to his pop-bari-tenor vocals. I know he's done theatre and that he has deep respect for Sondheim, but he seems completely off for this role. I know he's in his early 40s now, but he still reads somewhat boyish. How are his dramatic acting chops? I've only seen him on screen hamming it up and I'll admit he's got pretty good comedic timing, but he doesn't seem at all 'heavy' enough for Sweeney. Is he really that big of a draw that they couldn't find someone more suitable for the role?
I'm relieved to hear there will be a full orchestra, though, conveniently, there's no definition of what a full orchestra's size is. It won't take much to dwarf the orchestras of the revivals. |
