I went to see it yesterday with my sister. It was soooo awesome. It was kind of creepy, but that was the point. They had to make the blood look really bright and fake though, because there was a lot and people would have been leaving the theater....

There are about 4 theaters near me. I went to the mall yesterday and then I decided we should go see it. It was sooo cool. Except there was a 5 year old and a 7 year old there and they were like terrified when they walked out.... Parents shouldn't take kids of that age to a rated R movie...

I almost couldn't get in. My sister was going to send me to the bathroom and she would get my ticket. But it was her friend so she didn't have to. I could pass as 17.. but they ask for ID's so I wouldn't have got in Frown

A lot more relaxed than Tigerfest, according to some people sitting behind us at the Q&A. They had been there on Saturday and said it was zoo-ey.

I just got done viewing the 1998 version.

In 1998, Ben Kingsley and Joanna Lumley starred in the John Schlesinger - directed The Tale of Sweeney Todd, a television movie commissioned by Sky for which Kingsley received a Screen Actors Guild Best Actor nomination.

It was quite interesting, to say the least.

I know the one mentioned in this thread is:

Quote:
Tim Burton directed [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweeney_Todd:_The_Demon_Barber_of_Fleet_Street_(2007_film)]a film adaptation of Sondheim's musical[/url] starring Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd, Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin, and Ed Sanders as Tobias. The cast also included Sacha Baron Cohen and Timothy Spall. It opened in U.S. theaters on December 21, 2007 and in the UK on January 25, 2008. The film received two Golden Globe awards - one for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical (Johnny Depp), and one for Best Picture, Comedy or Musical. The film was also nominated for three Academy Awards, winning for art direction.


The interesting thing is that the child that played the mute apprentice of Sweeny Todd looks just like a young version of Depp in the 1998 version.

I was very pleased that the Tim Burton version of this Broadway play stayed fairly true to the originasl version by Stephen Sondheim.

The music in this show is Hellish and Wonderful in the most macabre way.....

Just in time for Halloween!!
