2005-2008ish!me who wrote endless copious emotional essays on her lj about sweeney being a love story, about every thread of sweeney being about love and its loss and its corruption and how society tries to own and consume it and how that love that once held rescue becomes ruinous and how all its tragedy is in that ravenous need and grief is so validated by this article.

#josh: it was kind of a secret language that i just got #annaleigh: i've always thought of it as a great love story #tommy: can we also break your heart?#OH THEY *GET* IT GET IT #crying #sweeney todd #josh groban #annaleigh ashford #thomas kail #stephen sondheim #hearing the music that nobody hears #sondheim #hal prince tapping into the social aspects of the show has always made sense to me #but tommy tapping into the romanticism of the gothic horror is perfect and very on brand #a toast to steve and angie and hal i love you i hope you're all together somewhere #also this is exactly what i was talking about this morning 😭 it's always what i'm excavating and seeking and holding onto!
