annaleigh ashford was on her hands and knees desperately begging for josh groban’s sweeney to listen to her, you can hear the sound of her slamming her hands on the stage as she says “could that thing have cared for you like me?” it was such an intense thing to watch
josh groban is practically spitting as he says “eminently practical and yet appropriate as always,” again the energy and his emotions are incredibly intense
i’m not super familiar with other sweeney todd productions, but in this one it seems that mrs lovett knows what’s coming. ashford keeps glancing toward the oven as groban spins her around, but it seems she wants to keep deluding herself into believing him, she wants to see the version of sweeney she creates in “by the sea.” she sounds frantic in her signing, like she’s trying to convince herself what she’s saying is true as well. or, she knows what’s coming and just doesn’t care, she’s resigned to death. either way, it’s an amazing performance by ashford

Anyone who saw The Play That Goes Wrong during the return of the OG cast this year (so Manchester or Newcastle), did the show stop halfway through for you?
During the performance i saw the show was stopped during the LEDGER scene- safety curtain down, lights on, everything. We were all told to stay in our seats and I've never heard of it happening before, so was wondering if anyone else saw/ heard of a performance where this happened?

Volunteers’ Fanmade Descriptions: Denouement family
Dewey Denouement
- He is self-taught in reading. His brothers asked their parents to teach them too after seeing him enjoying himself with books.
- He always liked organizing things. Back in their childhood home, his part of the room used to be the most organized one, while his brothers’ were messy (like most children’s).
- Before being taken, he had a hard time making friends. While his overall personality never changed, in the VFD academy he got to meet kids who shared his interests.
- He always admired Kit Snicket, because everyone always admired Kit Snicket. Though they had been so many times so close to one another, they only got to know each other when they were almost adults, and he only fell for her much after it. But when he fell, he fell hard.
- At one point he met Dashiell Qwerty. I don’t know when or how, he just did.
- He managed to get his myth status because he never stood out much in the academy. He spent most of his free time hidden in the farthest shelves of the library, and he was often mistaken for his brothers. Many people who frequented the academy at the same time forgot that he existed.
- He learned all the theory and knows all the steps, but when it comes to actual firefighting, he could never do it. He is very afraid of fire.
- It always saddened him to find documents destroyed or almost destroyed.
- Looking for documents in fire ruins is for him the worst, but it also happens to be what he has to do more often.
- It probably has to do with the fact that he got to visit the ruins of his childhood home as soon as he was allowed out of the academy. It was a terrible view, but for some reason he stayed there for much longer than he should.
- For the longest time, he didn’t believe Ernest had actually betrayed VFD. He felt this was somehow his fault.
- He had big resentments against VFD in his adult life, but he believed it was run by noble people and that he could help make it great again.
- He should be used to it, but every time Kit left for a mission, he almost couldn’t stand the fear and worry. He wished she could stay with him longer, doing the relatively safe work of cataloging, in the safety of the Hotel, but he always knew that Kit could not handle just watching and recording, she needed to go out and do whatever she could. He still wished she would be less reckless.
- The news of Kit’s pregnancy filled him with joy and apprehension. He started working harder to get the villains to justice before the baby was born.
- His wedding to Kit would be one week after Thursday’s meeting, but ready to be postponed if anything went wrong. He hoped by then the only thing that could go wrong would be the baby being born before the expected date, but he knew that it would be naive to believe things would be so easy.
Ernest Denouement
- The day he and his brothers were taken, he managed to grab a photo of the whole family happily enjoying a picnic. It is the only picture left of their parents, every other destroyed in the fire. Many times in their childhood the three brothers would gather at one of their beds and look at the picture, remembering the better times.
- Keeping a neutral expression is a skill all three brothers mastered, but Ernest is probably the best at it.
- He has a natural talent for forging handwriting.
- His loyalty to VFD started to crumble one day, during his apprenticeship, when a strange woman tried to convince him to join the firestarters. She knew too much about him and his family, and said things about VFD that made him think a lot. She also made insinuations about the fire that killed his parents. He had been warned he could meet a person like this, and his orders were to ignore them and report the situation. He only did one of these things.
- The doubts kept growing in his head and he investigated in secret the circumstances of the fire.
- His loyalty was not in VFD anymore already by the time he and his brothers started working in the Hotel.
- He would not call himself a firestarter, as he never started any fire. Most times, all he does is leaking information, and intercepting and forging messages from volunteers. He knows his actions resulted in deaths and destruction, but he believes it is all for a greater good (the destruction of VFD).
- He would hesitate a lot more if his brothers were out in missions, instead of safe in the Hotel.
- For a long time, the volunteers knew that there was a traitor in the Hotel, but couldn’t know who it was.
- Turning against VFD destroyed his relationship with his brothers. This is one of the things he blames on the organization. He wishes his brothers could see it as he sees, but they are too loyal to VFD. Sometimes he wonders if he will live to see VFD fall, and if maybe after then his brothers could forgive him. He knows it is unlikely.
- He has a close relationship with Fernald, but they spend a long time without being able to communicate.
- Learning about Kit’s pregnancy shook him more than he wished anyone to know. He never approved of Dewey’s closeness to her, as the Snickets represented everything he hated the most, and had a tendency of attracting danger wherever they went. He asked (almost begged) his allies to let her go unharmed, as the baby had no fault. His response was a “we will try”, in a tone that showed no one would try anything. This was the first time he considered that not everything should be sacrificed for the greater good.
- He never had any doubts that it was Olaf the responsible for Dewey’s death. He got very close to killing the man himself before the judgement.
Frank Denouement
- The most adventurous of three brothers.
- A natural born leader.
- He was very good at passing notes in secret to his friends during class.
- He was the first one to notice that Ernest changed after his apprenticeship.
- He started having countless fights with his brother after that.
- Working in the Hotel, he especially loved serving guests who were not involved with VFD. It gave him a break from the stress of his job as a volunteer.
- He said he wouldn’t throw Ernest out of the Hotel so he could keep an eye on him. The truth is that he could never take the idea of separating from his brother, no matter how much he changed, and is afraid of how much more he could change if he was alone in the outside world.
- His relationship with Ernest most consisted of either heated fights or coldly ignoring each other.
- He has a much better relationship with Dewey, but as they get older they disagree more and more.
- He blamed the Baudelaires for Dewey’s death and for the failure of the sugar bowl mission.
- Seeing all his life and all he ever worked for going up in flames made him question all his choices and his loyalty.
- Witnesses saw both managers working to stop the fire at the Hotel Denouement, with an expertise that only someone who spent years in that building and who received some sort of training in firefighting could have. They couldn’t save the building, but they saved many people.
- The Hotel was never rebuilt, and nothing was built in its place. People eventually are seen visiting the ruins, including the two managers and a man wearing a hat and carrying a notebook. The brothers would sit down together in silence, or sometimes have a quiet conversation, and a couple of times argue loudly. The man made notes in his notebook, threw stones in the lake, and seemed to look for something among the ruins. A couple times it was said that he was seen appearing out of nowhere, like a ghost coming from the ground, but such reports seem dubious.
- The Denouement brothers opened another hotel, very far from the terrain where the original stood. It is also much less fancy, but the service is highly praised. Every guest is always well received, and every cup of tea is always served with sugar. The only complain some have is that the managers refuse to deliver any sort of particular correspondence.
- They never talked about the past, not even when a writer that had been previously reported dead came to them to ask some questions. The silence was only broken the day a young girl entered their hotel. She wore a bat-shaped pin on her shirt, carried a bag full of books, had many questions in her eyes and seemed to use both hands with the same ability.
