For you hard-core Sweeney fans (and I know you're out there), you'll love this Sweeney Todd recorded live at Th��tre du Ch�telet in Paris (Caroline O'Connor is a fantastic Mrs. Lovett). You can read more about the production HERE (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/04/arts/04iht-loomis04.html).

The conductor is a friend of mine ;-)

He did an awesome job. It's so nice to hear this score newly recorded with a full orchestra (and well sung)!

Wow! Thanks for this! :)

He conducted the 'Les Miserables' 10th and 25th anniversary concerts also and has been around that show with his partner for years!

Mega site says I need a decryption key?

(EDIT)

My mistake, many thanks!

Is there a chance to get the conductors scores sheets for this? That would be freakin...


Got it, many thanks, still listening, great.

Ah cafegogo, thanks so much ! :-)

I saw Caroline O'Connor many years ago here in Sydney, Australia, in Side by Side by Sondheim and Chicago, and she was brilliant, so this will be a real treat.

Edited to add:

Yep, it's fantastic. Thanks!

This may be too late now, but I notice there's no Track 20 from Act I, and the dialogue Track 19 titled "Judge's Sentence" moves quite abruptly into Track 21, "Kiss Me!". Is this just a numbering typo, or is it possible Track 20 has been missed out from the zip?

Branais, I'm now officially jealous!

As for the missing track, apologies; this is the only version I have, though I believe you're only missing a brief dialogue intro to "Kiss Me."

Haha! Sorry!

Then perhaps I shouldn't mention the other productions I've remembered seeing her in — like West Side Story (Anita), Man of La Mancha (Aldonza) and Guys and Dolls (Miss Adelaide). But it's easy, of course, when you live in the city someone's performing in. (Or was, until London's West End threw its doors open to her.)

But speaking of things like that, my favourite production of Sweeney Todd that I've been lucky enough to see was at the Circle in the Square Theatre in New York, with Bob Gunton, Beth Fowler and Jim Walton. (I happened to be in NY as a tourist when it was on, back in ... 1990, I think.) It was done in the round, actually in and around the audience, with no lavish sets — just a cobblestone floor with a sewer grate, an oven, a barber's chair, and a table and benches — and it was fantastic. I keep hoping a recording will surface somewhere — even a bootleg one would do — or maybe even a video. (Though I don't think a video ever quite captures the atmosphere of a production.)

Anyway.

Ah mate, no need to apologise! I was mostly just checking in, in case something had gone awry.

Much appreciated, cafegogo. ;-)
