So Wynand and I saw Sweeney Todd...
Tobias Ragg:
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd.
His skin was pale and he had Rogue's hair his eye was odd.
He shaved the faces of gentlemen
who never thereafter were heard of again.
Depp trod a path that Len Cariou George Hearn Michael Cerveris few have trod.
As Sweeney Todd,
the demon barber of Fleet Street.
He used a studio in Buckinghamshire
of fancy stars and extras for hire.
And what if none of their sopranos could find the pitch?
They went to their banker impeccably rich.
From Sweeney,
from Sweeney Todd.
The Sondheim revival of Fleet Street.
Extras:
Swing your razor wide!
Sweeney, hold it to the skies.
Freely flows the blood of those who star in Harry Potter moralize.
Rupert Giles:
Burton's cast was few, his set was bare.
Just Depp and Carter with their crazy hair.
But the show ran too long and I'll tell you what,
The awesome opening song was cut!
For editing it he deserves to be shot
somewhere behind the studio lot.
The post-production crew of Fleet Street.
Corpses:
Highly conspicuous Johnny was,
white-faced, dark-eyed, and lean he was.
Back of his smile, under his word,
Johnny sang songs the audience heard.
Johnny acted and Johnny sang,
With a mild and effective tenor he sang.
Johnny was decent, but his range is narrow,
And never mind that he sounds like Jack Sparrow.
cascading
Johnny was decent, but his range was narrow,
And never mind that he sounds like Jack Sparrow.
Johnny was decent, but his range was narrow,
And never mind that he sounds like Jack Sparrow.
Johnny was decent, but his range was narrow,
And never mind that he sounds like Jack Sparrow.
Johnny! Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!
JOHNNY!
Sweeney Todd:
Attend how Jack the Ripper meets Hannibal Lecter!
Company:
Attend how Jack the Ripper meets Hannibal Lecter!
Sweeney Todd:
Served up by a dark and stylized director!
Company:

Sweeney Todd:
What happened then, well that's the show,
and nobody wants to read spoilers, so...
Company:
Go see Sweeney
See Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet...
Street...
Cut for the spoiler-paranoid, even though it's pretty clean.
