This week’s episode of The Office was amazing! The show had been kind of dragging on, but it seems they’ve really spiced things up for Steve Carell’s last season.In this episode, Andy invites the entire office to his community theater production of Sweeny Todd in the hopes that he will win Erin over with his performance as Anthony. As someone who has been involved in community theater myself, this really hit my funny bone. I love how Michael was so bitter about not being cast that he boozes it up in the audience, and Andy’s attempt to improvise when his cell phone goes off onstage is priceless!
I was a little bummed to find that Erin had been dating Gabe over the summer, but it makes for a love triangle that will no doubt lead to more funny antics in upcoming episodes.
I was also wondering about when Angela and Dwight would be addressed, but their “procreation contract” was touched upon in this episode, along with some uncomfortable flirting. I can’t wait to see where the relationship goes!
With the hilarious community theater bit, the “lip dub” sequence from the season premiere, the awkward romances, and an upcoming episode where the office gets together to watch Glee, The Office seems to be getting the second wind – and breath of fresh air – it needed.
