sweeney todd

YM: You would happen to have any old papers on musicals would ya?
Me: haha no but I could write one for you
YM: ...you could?
Me: "the first time Cats was on broadway, the lead character was played by Count Popeula, a magical monster with pencils for arms."
Me: I got tons more just like that
Me: A+
YM: haha
YM: Well, it would have to be about musicals we learned about in class.
Me: haha what did you learn about?
YM: Assassins, Sunday in the Park with George, Passion, Company, Sweeney Todd, and Follies....and that's only the first half of the semester!
Me: "I thought the lead character of Sunday in the Park with George was a bit of a dick, but at the same time he captured a certain je ne sais quoi of the human condition in today's postmodern society."
Me: A+
YM: haha
YM: awesome
Me: "Sweeney Todd was about people killing each other and putting them in meat pies. It was awesome."
YM: I was thinking of doing a comparison of Shakespeare, like Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet and compare it to Sweeney Todd.
Me: haha niiiice
Me: that would be cool
Me: you could start off, "Polonius from Hamlet once said, "Brevity is the soul of wit.""
Me: and then just stop
