My absolute dream is to see a broadway show... being in europe its a faraway dream for now, but i can't wait for the day i'll witness it, and this adaptation of sweeney todd looks amazing !!
What a terrible attempt at a London Cockney accent and terrible diction. Sondheim would have been appalled at her mangling the lyrics. Just dreadful - over acted to boot. I should have left at the intermission.
Okay so in her defense, the weird accent she uses really works for how freaking weird she makes the character. As someone who studies dialects I thought I was going to cringe through her accent the whole show but by the end it just felt like a quirk of her personality and I fully bought into it. Like, whatever it is, she commits to it fully and that made it work for me.
I first saw Sweeney Todd as the 2007 Tim Burton movie, but since then I’ve loved the detail where Benjamin who has been subsidizing on God-only-knows-what food in Penal Colony Australia… STILL CAN’T SWALLOW THE pïě!!! 😂
I thought it was going to be the same way when I went and saw the show, but I think that it's just because this was for promotional. Her performance was amazing. She truly was one of the best parts of the show because her singing and acting was fantastic, plus her comedic timing just made her such a funny Mrs. Lovett.
@muskratrepairservices7701 this doesn't seem like a great video for her but I just went to see the show on Sunday and she was incredible. This musical is basically about her at this point. She stole every single scene she was in. And her comedic timing was perfect.
This has to just be a weird vibe for the camera in the promo shoot. I don't doubt she's phenomenal. Especially after seeing her as Dot in Sunday. Id trust her with any Sondheim. (Would love to see her as the bakers wife in Into the Woods.)
@@erickgonzalez408I played it at 1.25x speed and it sounded better. Though her movements became jumpy. It's crazy how Helena Bonham Carter had a better performance.
Looking at other recordings it seems like it's usually normal speed, this matches with a clip I saw as part of the Tony awards so maybe it's just part of a showcase performance for that? It is weird that it's slowed, good news is that it's probably not in the actual show
The first part is about 90 bpm in this clip, as sung by Annaleigh Ashford. In the Tim Burton film, it's also about 90 bpm. The 2012 London production is also about 90 bpm, as sung by Imelda Staunton (and lauded by Sondheim himself). The outlier seems to be the OBC recording which is faster, about 100 bpm, as sung by Angela Lansbury.
She was amazing!
These comments are pissing me off.

Portably my second favorite Mrs Lovett
Todd trying to leave LMAO!!!
Aren’t they supposed to be middle aged? They look like they’re in their early 20s here LOL
I think they're just younger than they look. Like, in their late 30s early 40s
OMG her gesticulations are perfect. Wiping the dead bugs on Todd's sleeve. Holy shit, lol.
Really don’t get why people cast her as British. Her accent is worse than Dick Van Dyke’s.
It takes place in London. It’s kind of important.
I want to see the whole thing
I really want to watch the full show, I love her so much 😭
i love her so much
The cockney accent she is doing is god awful
Don’t worry that’s just the character lol
You gave me such a FROAU!
Phenomenal performances all around. Joe Locked was amazing as Toby
Oh please come on tour with you as the lead
Very slow indeed
Bruh ive been looking everywhere for clips of the most recent Sweeny Todd since i cant fly to New York to watch the performance
same lol
Saw it tonight and she was just awful. If you saw this and thought it looked bad -- its ten times worse live
This better be fucking rage bait bro.
@@Mousewith That's how it was idk what else to say
What is she saying?
Ahhh it needs more love More more more
lois griffin if she was going for a british accent lol
Olyan aranyosak,❤️❤️🥰🥰
her voice is amazing
What a terrible attempt at a London Cockney accent and terrible diction. Sondheim would have been appalled at her mangling the lyrics. Just dreadful - over acted to boot. I should have left at the intermission.
That’s just the character- she’s supposed to sound like that.
what you stopped threre!!!!!!!!!! you sadist!
Just saw this and it was phenomenal.
Saw it last night and she absolutely killed it. Stole the show.
Agreed she totally overshadowed him in the best way❤
Same here, she was amazing.
Gosh why everyone so mean in the comments :D I thought it was fun. Everyone brings something different.
Oof, what accent is she going for?
😂
Exactly

Horrendous
That’s just the character- she’s supposed to sound like that.
This one was great. 😮😂❤
How is everyone ignoring the awful accent?!
You know I thought I was the only one haha.
It's alright it just makes her seem more crazy :D
That’s just the character- she’s supposed to sound like that.
Love how Todd at first is like: “Nope!”
I first saw Sweeney Todd as the 2007 Tim Burton movie, but since then I’ve loved the detail where Benjamin who has been subsidizing on God-only-knows-what food in Penal Colony Australia… STILL CAN’T SWALLOW THE pïě!!! 😂
The tempo is too slow and there's no gusto.
Someone else just pointed out its the same tempo as the original, and he's right. About 88. I think it's how she draws out the notes.
Just saw it today and it’s incredible
That's who I'm being for Halloween. Mrs. Lovett.
I'm gonna be Sweeney for Halloween
such a good costume idea !! I might steal this
Woof. My favorite play. This looks forced af. Thank god i saw that disco themed david byrne production about a dictatorship in the Phillipines instead

Awesome! That’s great to hear, glad you had a good time

I saw the saw back in May and she was fantastic. Her chemistry with Groban is so good. They probably are my favorite Sweeney and Lovett

It's slowed
I’m just assuming. Maybe to make it easier for her to sing so she had more time to take breaths? Maybe
It’s not slowed 😢 she impressed the complexity of the song with her feeling ❤
