The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

SWEENEY TODD. There you have it. A wonderfully amazing musical that enthralls viewers with its musical numbers, violence, romance, and some pretty sexy actors. While there have been MANY adaptions [spell check is telling me I can't pluralize adaption....why?] of the Broadway musical, none surpass the sexiness that is Johnny Depp:


While the movie adaption (2007) isn't my favorite MUSIC-wise---as in there aren't as many songs  in it, including The Ballad of Sweeney Todd, the "theme song", in a sense---it is by far the most enthralling, and the easiest accessed. While stage productions can be watched on sites such as YouTube, they  aren't in as good as quality, nor do any other film adaptions [shut up spell check, I'm using the word "adaptions"] have such strikingly gorgeous Todds, they do fill a certain void when the 2007 version can't be accessed. 

NOT TO MENTION:

Helena Bonham Carter
(Bellatrix Lestrange

Timothy Spall
(Peter Pettigrew) 

Alan Rickman
(Severus Snape)

Anthony
(Gellert Grindelwald)

OUR HARRY POTTER ACTORS!!!! =)

So, if you have NOT seen Sweeney Todd, GO AND SEE IT NOW!! (i warn you though, I may be someone who enjoys this kind of gruesome, bloody, gory movie, but you may not be...not for the squeamish or weak of hear! =D)

  1. FYI, that would be because "adaption" isn't really often used. I'm not even sure if it's technically a word. The more common word is "adaptation."

    Cuz you totally care that much. XD

    Now I really wanna see the movie version of this!
