I wonder if I could score a set drawing? That might be cool.

As the Beadle, I don't have a ton of lines, even though I'm a bit of a menacing presence the whole show. However, towards the end of the play, I have a conversation with Sweeney wherein I ask "Oh, do you pomade the head? I dearly love a pomaded head!" This line seems rife for a bit of ad-libbing during rehearsals. Some options:

• Oh, do you do a fauxhawk (mullet)? I dearly love a fauxhawk (mullet)!


• Oh, do you do a Pete Rose (Gordie Howe) haircut? I dearly love a Pete Rose (Gordie Howe) haircut!


• Oh, do you trim nose (ear) hair? Mine is getting to combover length, and I dearly love an unblocked nose (ear)!


• Oh, do you have those magazines where I can select a haircut on a model and get angry when the haircut doesn't make me look like the model? I dearly love that!


• Oh, do you do genital piercing? I dearly love a Prince Albert!


• Oh, do you do a bikini wax? I'm getting a little wooly down there, and would dearly love a clean scrotum!


• Oh, do you do a Jherri Curl? I dearly love a Jherri Curl!


• Oh, do you do back tattoos? I dearly love a tramp stamp!


• Oh, can you put my hair in little golden ringlets, like Shirley Temple? I dearly love to wear a sailor suit and have an oversized lollipop with that haircut!

Also, I'm slightly concerned that Mitzi Hamilton will come see the show for some reason, and will decide to cast me as a completely overweight Little Mary Sunshine in Chicago. Stupid high notes.
