Sondheim wonders if Johnny Depp has the vocal chops for Sweeney Todd film

[flippyshark]

Hmmph - I listened to "Priest" - and I'm a little more optimistic about Depp's vocal performance (not as muscular as I'd like, but better than I was expecting), but Carter's Mrs. Lovett leaves me worried. She's so slight on her delivery here, it sounds as though she doesn't even get her own jokes. Ugh. The gorgeous orchestration is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here, as well.
