God, That's Good! – Sweeney Todd (with Ashley Pribyl)
When we went for intermission Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett were making jokes about cooking people into pies. Now as we open Act 2 it seems like that's become a reality. Ashley Pribyl returns to discuss how this works as an Act 2 opener, and how this song discusses class while also being fun.
