39. There is a third kind, you know. You see, once upon a time, there was a brilliant little Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd that opened in 2005. And as with all brilliant shows, it had a small but very committed fanbase, commonly referred to as the 'Sweeneyboppers,' or the 'Hot Toddies' (a name which was actually given to us by Donna Lynne Champlin, the freaking amazing woman who played Pirelli). We were close. Really close. Like, we made some of our best friends through the fandom, people we're still extremely close with despite the fact that the production closed in September of 2006, just a couple months shy of a year run. We had countless inside jokes, we wrote long, detailed, weepy posts about our experiences with the show, we befriended the cast and were invited to their solo gigs and and and... it was an amazing time.

Some of us liked the film, and some of us didn't. But for the Hot Toddies, the fact that we will always prefer the production that brought us together doesn't mark us as "theatre elitists." It may or may not be the best interpretation of Sondheim's work, but for us, it doesn't matter either way. The fact that the film exists and the work has been preserved is pretty much enough - Angela, Patti, and Helena are apples, oranges, and pears. If you prefer pears to apples or oranges to pears, that's your call - we're not saying that pears are a lesser fruit, just that oranges are our favorites.

And just for the record:



from broadwaysecrets the week the revival closed. That should show you how close we were.

With all due respect I'm a bit worried for that community, since half the secrets are about Sweeney Todd and/or some random in joke I'm really don't get.

Well, in a nutshell, Kendra Kassebaum is a lesbian, and Christian Borle cheated on Sutton Foster with Laura Bell Bundy (but did Sutton cheat on him with Roger Bart first?).

You should get it now.
