The first national tour of John Doyle's Tony Award–winning Sweeney Todd reinvention kicked off at Boston's Colonial Theatre on Tuesday night, to rave reviews. According to Boston Globe critic Louise Kennedy, the production "reveals Stephen Sondheim's dark brilliance in all its cold-blooded glory. It is marvelous and terrible to behold."

Many members of the Broadway cast—who can be heard on the 2006 Nonesuch recording—return for the tour; and as on Broadway, they play their own instruments on stage. According to Kennedy, this "lets us hear the wonderfully consonant dissonances of Sondheim's score more clearly than ever; stripping the music bare reveals its coolly coherent structure and seemingly effortless flow ... It feels truer to the spirit of the piece."

Joining the cast on tour are David Hass as the demon barber himself and Judy Kaye as his cohort in crime, Mrs. Lovett, whom the Globe review calls "nastily hilarious."

Oh to be young and full of...er, energy. The Cribs have bashed themselves up one side of the globe and down the other. Prior to their current Japanese dates, both Ryan and Gary enjoyed a quick tour of some of the UK's dodgy emergency clinics, and not for fun or profit. Seems guitarist Ryan chucked himself of the stage in Birmingham (home of Uriah Heep and The Move!) two weeks ago while the bouncers weren't looking. When he tried to make his way back to work on stage, they thumped him. Tough enough that poor Ry had all his clothes torn off, lost his shoes(yet again) and adding insult to inury, the security tried to pull his head off for his trouble. Ouch! Two night later in Sheffield (home of The Human League & Cabaret Voltaire!), twin bro Gary takes ill with blood poisening thanks to some nasty cuts. Three cheers for antibiotics and the Jarmans are good as Google. Younger bro & drummer Ross is trying to keep far away from his siblings and excited to return to the US alive just as England is starting to freeze over. More exciting news soon from the lives of the young and obviously restless. Until then, have a look at Ryan Jarman showing the UK's home viewers that he believes he can fly.
