Sweeney Todd – Knock Three Times…

Jan 12, 2025

Just a couple – In the opening shot here, Sweeney is demonstrating how he will knock three times whenever he “shaves” a customer, sending them down the chute to the basement. Then a couple shots from what can only be called a sequence of “quickies” happening in the elevated background during the “God, That’s Good” number. 

A couple of those were posted before, but I’m adding a shot of the one who gets away, because he brings his wife and daughter in with him – kind of cool…

Yes, I’m back at it. As soon as these are done, I can set them into a pdf eBook of the performance. On getting back to these after my COVID break, I’m kinda amazed I got all these hand held with a zoom lens from behind the audience (exhausting as it was running back and forth the width of the theater to get the right angles.

SWEENEY TODD is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
