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

[Alex]

Ah yes. Well, that is embarrassing.

In my defense though, I only saw the movie because it was one of the four movies on in roation during my Disney cruise. I never actually sat through the whole thing in one sitting but over the course of the week I ended up seeing it all in various bits and pieces.

Riiiiight! (hee hee ) IMO Jersey Girl is a cute movie. Not Kevin Smith's usual style, and made during the Bennifer years, but still a cute movie. Don't be embarrassed you saw it. I still respect you.

Jersey Girl is actually my first exposure to Sweeney Todd. I had heard of it, but never seen any production. I caught Patty and the revival cast's performance on the Tony's and it looks pretty interesting. (I don't really care about the awards, but record and fast-forward to see all of the performances). I was not surprised to hear Burton was making the theatrical version.

I love both Burton and Depp, they are a proven team, but I would like to see another actor in the part. Depp can be serious, silly, slashed, Sparrow, a snitch, a soldier, a sibling, psychadelic, sweet, silent, a sleuth, a sniffer, scary, sexy, smarmy. I just don't know if he can be a singer. (Cry Baby doesnt' count) We'll just have to wait and see.

(P.S. My friend saw Doogie in a play and he was NAKED!)
