But I want to know what happened to Johanna and Anthony. And Toby. It was kinda incomplete.
Antony and Johanna --Presumably live happily ever after. Tobi (Toby) --Goes mad, in the original Sondheim-play, his hair turns pure white.
In both cases, we're not meant to specifically know what happens to them, mostly because the story isn't *about* them. The story is about Todd primarily and Lovett secondarily.
For me, the movie was incomplete, but not because of the ending --it left out songs from the traditional stageplay, because it had to go from close to three hours to two hoursish.
Burton did a damn fine job with cutting it down, IMO. The story still makes perfect sense without "Kiss Me" or the Judge's "Johanna", and while I love both those songs, I'm fine with them not being in there. The ending was perfectly true to the musical.
Cause when you stop and think about it, the musical is really really really sick. On so many different levels.
....eh. *shrugs*
The blood was obviously very fake. It looked more like paint. And I

Don't be sorry. As I said I am completely ignorant when it comes to famous musicals. I might have heard the name Sondheim before, but the first place I can really say I recognized it was from "La Vie Boheme" in Rent
