Oh god, whoever they got to play Anthony was perfect. He was so boyish and innocentand eager. I wanted to pat his fluffy little head.
And when was the last time you saw a seventeen-year-old in a movie who was actually passable as seventeen? (Ellen found Anthony creepy! I don't understand.)
"The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" is my very most favorite piece of music in the play
Mine too. I wish they could've worked it in, even a chorusless adapted version.
The jury is still out on HBC's portrayal of Mrs. Lovett as a breathy, demented little willow.
Her Lovett genuinely looked up to Todd -- almost like a little sister. I think that lent his character a lot of strength.
