I generally like seeing live shows. They tend to be fun, funny, and/or engaging.
This past Wednesday, however, we saw Sweeney Todd, and both my wife and I were thoroughly bored. It was a huge waste of talent. The set, the costumes, the actors-singers-musicians were all impressive, but the musical just went at such a slow pace. I didn’t care about the characters. The plot seemed to go nowhere. Everything was too melodramatic. What a bummer.
This was no Spelling Bee or Jersey Boys.
