Barbra Streisand - Duck Sauce (dance performance by New Directions and mall flash mob)

“If you get a nose job, then you will be spitting on her legacy. Barbra refused to believe that beauty could only be defined by the blonde, chiseled faces of Hitchcock’s beauties, so she redefined what beauty was and became the biggest female star in the world.

Just saw an argument that Toby should never be written as a child because “Not While I’m Around” is a love song. He HAS TO be an adult

Coupla things since I’ve seen this take before:

Toby’s character has been envisioned as a child before the musical; even Sondheim himself seems to have considered this as he refers to Toby as a “young boy, rather demented, but lovable,” in his original pitch. https://youtu.be/uF3HK0l_MY4?si=1uOtI8Utnr2uW_i0

It’s fine to prefer Toby as an adult, but I don’t see why it’s not also fine to prefer Toby as a child. Toby being a child doesn’t “miss the point,” if the only necessary point is for him to underestimate Mrs. Lovett; the rest of their relationship dynamic is up to that specific production and actor.

And while we’re on the topic of preferred interpretations, mine for “Not While I’m Around,” is that it’s NOT ROMANTIC. Songs and relationships that aren’t romantic are too often ignored or cheapened in fiction. And a romantic angle also lends to a less compelling characterization of Mrs. Lovett.

I was so surprised to learn that the song "Not while I'm around" came from "Sweeney Todd" the musical.

Yentl (1983). A Jewish girl disguises herself as a boy to enter religious training.

Absolute vanity project on Babs' part, but y'know what? If more vanity projects were this good, cinema would be a better place. 8/10.

Babs looks like a mom who made the best Kool-Aid in the neighborhood.
