I thought the overall production was very well done. I liked George. Patti was just sort of weird. I heard that Christine Baranski had done the role at one time and I think that would have been interesting to see. I thought Patti was a little to stagy and probably the wrong type for Mrs. Lovett. I always took Mrs. Lovett as more of a character actress part and LuPone is a definite leading lady type. I enjoyed Johanna and I like the actor playing Anthony. One of my friends was watching the production and called me after he had sung Johanna (it's also a song in my rep) and commented on his jaw tension. He seemed to have some odd jaw and lip action. Did anyone else notice this? I'd love to see this show in full production. It's a gem.
