"and I am not looking forward to his pop-bari-tenor vocals."

The good news is, no one's forcing you to go.

I mean, sure. But, we're allowed to express disappointment in what (it appears) many of us find puzzling casting for the title role in what might be the first 'full production value' revival of a beloved Sondheim classic on Broadway. I have nothing against Grobanites and their devotion to this man even though I personally find him milquetoast and dull. But, he's essentially his generation's king of easy listening. I don't think it should be a shock that many of us are disappointed in this casting. It's not a stretch to think this could be the last major revival of Sweeney in some people's lifetimes, so a desire to get it right isn't unfair.

I'll happily eat my hat if he turns out to surprise us, but I have very strong doubts and will be interested to learn more about understudies and standbys.

Every revival of anything is the last major revival in some people's lifetimes. Are you just talking about yourself, lol?
