Oooh, what a great idea! How positively Madame DeFarge of us, knitting while Sweeney slashes throats. I'd love to watch the DVD. I've always liked this show (the score that is, I've never seen it on stage)--I thought it was the perfect marriage of passion and intellect, much like 1776 (another favorite of mine).

Oh, does Toby drink all that gin in the stage version? THAT was hilarious--my mother loved that! "Leave the bottle."
