"Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd
His skin was pale and his eye was odd.
He shaved the faces of gentlemen
who never thereafter were heard of again.
He trod a path that few have trod

Magnificent. Simply put, that's what the revival of "Sweeney Todd" is. It's closing on Sunday so I got tickets yesterday and saw it. Wow. If you don't know the show, it's a musical about the murdering Barber Sweeney Todd who, along with his new "friend," bakes the remains into Pies in London. Sounds cherry eh? Pefect for a musical? No it isn't, and that's exactly why it's so brilliant. Each of the actors double as stagehands and the orchestra, as they each play more than one instrument and never leave the stage. Wow. Just wow.

New lovely book to read to your soon to be born children:



Ohhh, and how could I forget about some weekly Chuck Norris action???



Chuck is King. Hail to the King.
