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

I've never seen the stage version.

I like movie musicals, I just found Chicago to be boring, poorly performed, horribly choreographed, a really stupid story (this likely being a flaw in the stage version as well), and I didn't like a single person in the movie. In other words, my only coherent response I can make to the question "why don't you like it is" is "I don't see how anybody would."

And before the "but that's just you're opinion" I'll just say of course it is just my opinion.

As far as Sweeney Todd, if it has gone the way of a halfway musical that probably isn't a good thing (go balls to the wall or go home is my general opinion such things) but I'll wait and see. I also have never seen the stage version of this. All I know about Sweeney Todd are the bits in Jersey Girl.
