The production that I've seen (well, I also saw the one that was on Broadway a few years ago, but that one was just weird), I think they had some kind of balloon filled with fake blood under the person's collar, and it would drip down their shirt, but not really onto other stuff, except sometimes a little bit on the chair.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, what Hil said - the blood in the stage version is usually either very theatrical (ribbons) or very contained (extra-thick corn syrup).

And the LINES that were left out of the songs that DID make it into the movie grumblegrumblegrumble
Tep, I'm pretty sure Netflix has the Angela Landsbury/George Hearn version on DVD.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I finally returned it! If they don't have it, it's someone else's fault...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My eleven-year-old cousin thinks Sweeney Todd is the best movie he's ever seen. I think it was the first time he'd seen something, especially a musical, that didn't have a traditional Happy Ending.
Actually, it must be musical-specific, because the kid watches Avatar. He knows all about not having the traditional Happy Ending.

Speaking of which, P-cow, when do we get new episodes of Avatar and how many are left?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I cried and cried.

Aimee, I had the same reaction to Juno.
I saw Persepolis today. It surprisingly came back to our local theatre this week. I've never read the graphic novel, but I really enjoyed the film. It was beautiful in it's starkness and simplicity.

Allison Janney going off on that ultrasound tech was TEH AWESOME.
