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

Apropos of nothing, I once performed the role of Pirelli in a production of this brilliant musical.

I'm with those who don't see Depp as a good choice. Maybe Depp will surprise me, but I really can't imagine his often fey speaking voice having the kind of blood and thunder Todd would need. I really hope this movie won't suck, because it's one of the greatest musicals of any era.
