8. I LOVE THIS SECRET.
17. I really hate this attitude that musical theatre fans have, that certain fans are "better" than others because they've been in the fandom longer or because they like certain casts better than others. (Having said that, I have the same attitude, at least when it comes to musicals turned into movies) I love you Patti LuPone. ♥
20. Well EXCUUUUUUSE ME, Princess. :D
31. Things Tim Burton should not have done:
Cut out all the "Ballads", cut out pretty much all of the Johanna/Antony plot, cast Tobias so young (and mostly rewritten his character), cut out all the harmony, cast leads who couldn't handle the vocals...

I did enjoy Johnny Depp as Sweeney, I thought his voice was nice. It wasn't what most Sweeney fans are used to, but I thought the emotion in his vocal performance was really gorgeous, even if the talent wasn't all there.

HBC, however...

cast Tobias so young (and mostly rewritten his character)

? Tobias should technically be about 12 to 15 years old; his role is usually played by a boyish adult man or a boyish young woman, however, since the music is tough and the play is relatively adult (not to mention lengthy). I was amazed that they found such a talented, age-appropriate actor to play Toby. He was my favorite part of the whole thing.

Agreed on the Ballads, though.

Interesting, didn't know that about Tobias. Every production I've seen (including the tour that came to Seattle and the revival) were what I thought at the time to be youngish adult male actors. David Hyde Pierce is my favorite, and I've heard is Sondheim's definitive Tobias as well.

[(Anonymous)]

Historically, Sweeney (and Pirelli) would have employed "soap boys," most of whom were street kids in their early adolescence.

David Hyde Pierce was in Sweeney Todd as Tobias? I totally did not know this, but it sounds awesome.

The second HBC started hitting the high notes on Worst Pies in London, I grabbed my best friend's hand and squeezed. It was the only way to deal with it non-vocally in the movie theater D:.
I got used to her and actually almost enjoyed it the second time around, and for some incomprehensible reason, I adore the movie version of A Little Priest. But hearing her next to that surprisingly good kid on Not While I'm Around...painful.
