Sweeney Todd
RedLion:
I saw Sweeney Todd in Boston..the actual musical. It was absolutely mind-blowing, emotinoal and amazing, easily one of the best musicals I've ever seen, surpassed only by Les Miserables and Miss Saigon. But I refuse to see this movie. Todd is supposed to have a gruff, booming voice, he is supposed to be a somewhat larger man--not fat, but large, imposing. Johnny Depp is the exact opposite of all of that. Hearing him singing "Epiphany" in the trailer made me want to cut off my ears to stop the pain. The whole thing is bullshit, plain and simple.
Drill King:
It's unfair and a little silly to expect a movie and a stage adaption to be the same. They're supposed to be different, no director is going to make it the same(stage or film). I mean compare the LOTR Musical to the LOTR movie. Hell add on the book comparison and none of them are the same. Artists love to interpret things their own way.
Liz:
I plan on seeing it sometime around Christmas, assuming my local theater will get the film. Then in February a nearby college will be doing the musical, so I also plan on going to see that so I can compare the two. I am so excited.

Okay, I agree, but, I wonder if they've seen Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas or Donnie Brasco.
