Sweeney Todd!!

Steph and I after the show and dinner

So this past weekend on Sunday Kris and I got to go up to Lancaster, PA to see the Fulton Theater's production of Sweeney Todd. As an added bonus our good friend Steph was the concertmaster of the pit (awesome job Steph!!!!!!). I saw another production of theirs in the fall and I can honestly say I'm always amazed at the quality. I know they hire most of the actors from N.Y. etc.. but still, it's Lancaster, PA, an area more people associate with the Amish more then with high quality theater productions. This production was no exception and was absolutely top notch.

For those of you that don't know the musical Sweeney Todd (or don't remember the movie that came out a few years ago...) it is a very dark tale yet an absolutely amazing show. Unfortunately Sunday was closing night or else I'd tell anyone in the area to go up and see it! I've been privileged enough to play the show on two other occasions and the music (written by Steven Sondheim) is incredible, although having one of the best viola parts for pit music doesn't hurt at all either. ;)

After the show some of the pit members were grabbing dinner at a local restuarant and we tagged along. The food was great, although the service was horrendous! Our poor waitress wasn't quite with it and Kris still never got his caramel latte he ordered 3 times... (I wish I was making that up!)

It was a wonderful afternoon and if any of you ever have the chance to see the theater productions at the Fulton Theater I *highly* recommend it!!!
