Today we began our actual project of "Sweeney Todd". As there are only five of us in our double class, we shall be using four other people - two from the year below, and Mr Falconar and Mr McKay (both ex-students). We spent this lesson learning a couple of songs and singing them as solos or duets. As my teacher already knew what I was capable of... and that I'm the only girl in the class... I didn't need to do an audition, so instead helped others with them learning their songs. Below is the cast list:
- Anthony Hope = Tom Falconar
- Sweeney Todd = Robert Andrew
- Beggar Woman = Taylor Medford-Major
- Mrs Lovett = Lorna Clark
- Judge Turpin = Lewis Fisher
- The Beadle = Ollie Kelly
- Johanna = Alice Abbott
- Tobias Ragg = James Borg-Clancy
- Pirelli = Dan McKay
- Jonas Fog = Dan McKay
A synopsis of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" can be found through the following link -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408236/synopsis. The music and lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim and the musical has won multiple awards, including Tony Award for Best Musical in 1979. We received our scripts today too, but we won't be doing the entire show (as it will take far too long and is not all necessary), therefore next lesson we shall discuss how we shall cut it.
