Sweeney is my fave musical, I’m really gonna try and get up to NYC this spring to see it

And that's a damn good cast too. I already wanted to see it and I had no idea Gaten and Jordan Fisher were in it.

I truly don't care much about Josh and Annaleigh but once Jordan and Gaten were announced I was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope they made Jimmy more likable/endearing in NYNY because I struggled to give one single shit about De Niro's character in the original movie

I looove Sweeney Todd. Guess I'll have to wait for the tour, le sigh

I want to hear a cast recording for Green Finch and Linnet Bird.

That Sweeney Todd picture looks great! I don't know anything about Annaleigh Ashford, except she was in the B Positive show, so it seems weird to me, but then wiki tells me she's won a Tony and been in plenty of musicals. I'm sure she'll be great (I just remember those dumb B Positive promos)!

I'm not really that interested in The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, but I'd love to see Oscar Isaac.

I've never gotten the chance to see her perform, but I like her voice on the Sunday in the Park with George cast recording, and she did one of my favorite Miscast performances - full commitment to being goofy:

Annaleigh Ashford is a genuine fucking delight. She's going to be so fun in this.
