| "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. |
