Sweeney Todd

Last night, Dn Gregory and I went to see Sweeney Todd. His parents took Matthias for New Years, so we decided to go see a movie.

It. Was. Awesome!

Unlike my husband, who studied music and knows all the various musicals out there, I have never heard the music to Sweeney Todd before. It was absolutely amazing. First thing tomorrow, I'm heading out to pick up the soundtrack on CD. I have got to have this for my car! The music is beautiful with amazing harmonies and the words are just awesome. I quickly fell in love with the musical.

Now, to be fair and honest, I could have done with a little less blood. Clearly, the Broadway version has less blood, so I may have to see if I can ever see it on stage. But, all in all, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have come through one more time. I can't wait to see it again!

I do have a new favorite song: Johanna (Reprise). Wow. Johnny Depp singing in harmony with Jamie Campbell Bower was very impressive. The dissonance followed by the note resolution. Wow. Just wow.

Go see it! Soon!
