Precious Roy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I've listened to Beatles music through the years. I've never seen stage or cinema version of Sweeny Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Here's what influences my pick: I've been a BD fan ever since I first saw them, in 1973. So I'm invoking the "before a lot of you were born" clause and going with the Devils. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both do some amazing things, but while BD has many specific effect events, Blue Coats entire show IS the event unlike any ever produced in the activity- it is flawlessly seamless and delivers a through-time horizontal value that rivals those in any professional setting that our activity borrows from: ballet, musical theater, opera, Cirque, etc. More specifically/and of course longer explanation : Overall engagement: BLOO Color use: BLOO Number of specific effect moments: BD Prop use: BD Setting the stage: BLOO Use of electronics: BLOO Aesthetic: BLOO Intellectual: BD Emotional: BLOO Battery: BD Front Ensemble: BLOO Guard: BD Percussion writing: BLOO Brass: BLOO Brass soloists: BLOO The all important "it" factor: BLOO Crazy bias in this post js 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has an emotional hook from beginning to end. BD is too unemotional, except the ballad, and I have seen this show the past six years or so. Ready for something fresh from the Devils. In my opinion the Coats show is not very well written. I feel like people are so wrapped up in the fact that it's Beatles music that they forget that the book isn't really amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phd-student-TTU Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 BD: design, subject matter, perfection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Bluecoats is like this hippie chick, all warm, fuzzy and full of peace and love. BD is like this high society art theater chick who is sophisticated, stylish and a little bit edgy and crazy at times. In other words nothing wrong with a little variety in your life. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 On 8/10/2019 at 3:07 PM, Cappybara said: Interestingly, I think there's way more recycling and commonalities in the musical arrangements from 2014-2019 than from 2008-2013. For example, what similarities in music arrangements were there between 2010, 2011, and 2012? You're thinking in terms of actual phrases or motifs, for which you are right. Definitely more similarities with the present BD productions (2014 to now), but that really hasn't bothered me. I'm speaking more about an arranging/orchestration style. Essentially the style that Wayne Downey used vs Dave Glyde. I love both, and Wayne has always been one of my longtime favorites. His latter stuff (2008 to 2013) has a certain style and sound to it that is very familiar, even if the songs are different. I am one of the few who love the 2010 show. But I really have enjoyed the recent shows from 2014 to now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
