Re: [scifinoir2] Sweeney Todd
I think you have to really see the play before you see the movie to appreciate how good Sweeney Todd really is. I saw the play with Patti Lapone when it was on Broadway and I'm totally in love with the material. And when I heard J. Depp was going to play Sweeney Todd I knew it was going to be a winner. It's hard to pull a musical off on the Silver Screen but to me you just can't faily with Depp and Burton. They have never disappointed me and the Sweeney Todd movie to me was brilliant. I hope it wins Oscars across the board. If you have netflix you can rent the original play with Angelia Lansbery. She is amazing! But the recent staging on Broadway did the play much different. They threw all of the old school victorain costumes and went for a dark almost S and M like mixed with a 70's beatnick feel to it. But what was even better was they all of the actors played their own instruments. So there was no orchestra. The actors where on stage playing all of the music and singing. The staging of the play also was totally brilliant. On Dec 31, 2007 12:49 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Try to catch Juno, which I hear is good, and plan to see tomorrow.
