#PennedPossibilities 1155: Do you enjoy musicals? If so, what’s your favorite one? Has it ever brought you inspiration for a story?
I love musical. I've seen some great national tours. I've been in local amateur productions.
My favorite is Sweeney Todd, which I saw in Boston with Angela Lansbury and George Hearn--the National Tour cast that was taped and shown later on PBS.
It has not inspired a story, but it has gotten nods in some of my work. Jack and his father are barbers, after all.
“It is a shame that there were also some incriminating articles among your things. This nice sharp razor, for example.”
“What does that prove? Did somebody give Dame Trott a shave before putting her down the well?”
“That is unknown, because we haven’t got her up out of the well yet. But surely you have heard old tales of crazy barbers who slice up their victims with razors."
