This episode was WONDERFUL! 249,700 songs76,300 artists100,600 episodes, movies and games, The Internet’s best source for music from TV and movies since 2005. And the “let’s get our juice on” shared moment in the car was adorable. The tale has been retold many times since in various media, most notably in the Tony award–winning Broadway musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler. Other than that, I agree that it has more 2/3 feel. What a terrific episode — well written and performed by all! But I wonder if people who aren’t familiar with Sweeney Todd will get it. Could baby CeeCee be any cuter? Last night's hilarious episode of "The Office" took everyone out of the office to a community theater production of "Sweeney Todd" in which Andy Bernard starred. I didn’t like this episode. So perfect. It was hilarious! In most versions of the story, he and Mrs. Lovett hire an unwitting orphan boy, Tobias Ragg, to serve the pies to customers. What a fabulous showcase for Ed! ), This episode was one of my favorites because as Pam said, it was nice to see Andy sing outside of the office. Not being a fan of over the top Michael or Andy’s singing, I was not looking forward. Written by Charlie Grandy and directed by John Stuart Scott, the episode aired on NBC in the United States on October 7, 2010. Dwight: Alright fine, I’ll go to your little show, but I’m not wearing a cape. Lots of people think it would be the front row, but actually, right here, this is where the speakers converge, and the sound just, like, nails you right here. #51, Mr. Dude, I so agree. Best episode so far this season but do we really need a repeat of the Jim/Pam storyline with Andy/Erin? I know we’ve seen him before belting out some lyrics, but he has some serious pipes. Andy/Ed Helms was just absolutely dreamy!! Awesomeness…. I have watched this episode 4 times already, that’s how much I loved it. Tonight’s was just a really complete, solid episode. A Musical Thriller, Maria Marten, or The Murder in the Red Barn, "Man or myth? When his phone was supposedly finally turned off, yet still made the little “you have a message” noise, I just died laughing. It was slow, not very humorous (beyond a few Darryl, Ryan, and Creed moments), and Michael was more grating then usual. I loved everything about “Andy’s Play,” and “Sweeney Todd” was the perfect choice of musical for the episode. I thought that the opening, with Dwight pulling out a dagger when all of Andy’s co stars brandished razors during their song, was hilarious! Best seats in the house. Written by NBC Publicity Although the plot was simple, it offered a great view into each relationship as well as some hilarious ‘Office’ moments that I’m sure will be talked about for quite some time. Rate. As an aside, did they get a new hair/make-up person for the women? I haven’t been into The Office as of the last 2 seasons much but this made me feel like 1st season, so nervous I peed a little. Unfortunately, Michael Scott didn't get a part, probably because he decided to perform an entire episode of "Law & Order" by himself for his audition. I can’t wait for him to realize that he still loves her. Michael tries to put his jealousy aside and enjoy the performance while Jim and Pam struggle with their incompetent babysitter. Michael: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate but equally important groups: the police who investigate the crimes and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. I have always had a difficult time envisioning her in apparel other than that she is known for sporting. This expanded version of the story was 732 pages long. This is turning out to be a great season in all forms but I just wish that Angela and Dwight would not get back together. My favourite comedy combined with one of my favourite musicals; could Thursday night have been any better? A great episode – and Ed Helms was amazing! Ever since Andy came back from anger management late in season 3 he has been my favorite character. It makes sense, for example, when Michael is driving and has the cameras in his car, but of all people, I would think Angela would be totally against it. Anyone else notice that Dwight actually WANTS to have sex with Angela now? Such a great episode. All around wonderful episode! I remember laughing until I cried at seasons past, but I have chuckled only a couple of times this season. I haven’t watched Sweeney Todd so I wasn’t interested in the play. It’s so powerful, even a lot of men can’t resist a man singing show tunes. Andy: That’s really irresponsible of Erin.

Ultimately though, Erin doesn't s… I’m just so slow – I got Dwight’s reference to seeing Cats and the giant cat sitting on his lap, but I just realized that the last time he went to the theatre was probably when he was dating Angela and, of course, she would make him go see Cats. The rest of the episode finds the Office crew attending a performance of the bloody good show where Bernard tackles the classic ballad "Johanna." ed helms killed it!! Impressed = me. "Andy's Play" is the third episode of the seventh season of the American comedy television series The Office, and the show's 129th episode overall.
