Double - Performance Workshop (Sweeney Todd) - Blog 17 - 28/03/17

Today we explored which songs needed something more to them and we felt that My Friends certainly needed something added to it.

Despite it being moving, having Todd and Lovett sing alone, we wanted to fully accentuate the meaning behind the razors and how close Todd identifies with them. We decided to have Ollie, James and I enter during the first verse with a razor each, embodying the razors themselves. We slowly walk down to Todd as we interact with the razors. We get closer and then leave the razors on the table and exit. I feel this portrays the razors a lot more and gives this song a lot more purpose in the show.


Next lesson, we will finish blocking everything by finishing the end section where Beadle, Turpin, Lovett and Todd all die.
