We just did Sweeney Todd for our Halloween show and that's exactly what I said to the guy playing the Beedle. Lol like he's super confident for someone that's such a creeper.
This is hands down the hardest movie to try and get people to watch. “It’s a musical-horror movie with cannibalism” not exactly a perfect date night movie.
Never has there ever been a funnier thing said than "Ya'll do dicks?" in Alan Rickman's voice. Also I've heard there's a walkthrough attraction in London where its like interactive Jack the Ripper and Sweeney Todd shows, not technically a ride but its something
Fun fact: our stage production (and many others) used latex gloves filled with blood set just under the neckline of the shirt. When our throats were slashed, we’d grab onto our upper shirt, and blood would shoot everywhere. It was a great time.
I think it's cool how people get innovative with stuff like this. I found a high school production online (it was a lot better than you'd think) and they used a piece of red fabric that the guy playing Sweeney would pull along the throat, acting like it had come out of the person - when he managed to make it seamless, it looked really cool.
@@cranberryrosebud that option is MUCH BETTER for a high school production of course. I’ve also seen the prop straight razor be able to dispense some blood by the Sweeney actor pressing a button.
For our production, the handles of the razors were squeezable tubes, and there was a small hole in the razor itself, so as Sweeney squeezed the handle then blood would come out of the hole and drip along the whole razor, and he just dragged it across the victims throats and they’d be completely covered lol
"This kid might as well be Ron Weasley" That's young Grindelwald!!! Also throw in Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp too and this film might as well be a HP reunion.
My favorite thing is when they were sad Domhnall Gleason wasn’t in Harry Potter when his dad was Moody, then cut to 3 films later and they finally meet Bill Weasley.
Jamie Campbell Bower actually played young Grindelwald in Deathly Hallows. This cast was full of wizarding world alumni, even if not all of them had made in appearance in that franchise yet
Fun fact: Johnny Depp hadn't sung a full song before this movie. Stephen Sondheim himself was also directly involved in the casting, so Johnny got lessons on singing for this movie. The first song he ever sung for this movie was "My Friends". Honestly, can't imagine anyone else playing the character. He looks the part, and after learning, he sounds great for the part too.
You know I was kinda disappointed hearing an analysis of the music going into how bad the movie singing is considered by people who do Broadway type music and fans of stage shows. But then I heard the version they thought was better and I'm sorry but the singing to the rafters in plays is not good singing, it's necessary. The emotion, pain, and madness in Depp's rendition of They all Deserve to Die is my favorite of all the renditions. Would still recommend watching "How the music of Sweeny Todd spoils the movie(and why that's a good thing) musical language is so fascinating.
@@dragonwaz I love Sideways!! I agree that's a great video to watch ☺️ I believe that when the actors are cast for the musical movies, they're terrific because they put so much emotion, which can also happen in stage musicals. However, in film, you don't have the pressure to sing to the back of the auditorium.
Okay guys. Literally was taking a sip of my drink when I clicked on the video and immediately did a spit take at the line "POPPING PUSSIES INTO PIES" and it's the most laughter I've had in months 😆
5:38 Honestly, having “Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir” as a ringtone is genius, especially where Toby says, “Ladies and Gentlemen, May I have your attention please?”
@@LoveSpaceYama I don't know, I'm a huge fan of the man and his work but I can't feel too bad about his death. He lived a full long life and spent his final years in retirement with his loved ones, a life's work he could be proud of behind him. Would that we could all die under those circumstances.
@@PrettyMuchIt you guys are so funny. I don’t know what it is. It’s just every time I hear one of you human speak I know I’m in for something. Especially at 18:05
i love how they're making pies out of people and singing about it, but the reason you guys can't twerk is the tempo, and that's why I'm a proud subscriber.
I can’t believe how close you posting this just so happened to be to Stephen Sondheim’s passing. This was one of my first movie musicals I had ever seen and I owe a lot of my now 11+ years theatre career to this composer. Impeccable timing and (of course) an incredible commentary. Excuse my nice comment, I’m drunk.
The Joanna song is so funny cuz when I first heard it I was like “oh this guy is the villan now”and actually he’s like-the most innocent person there even more than the actual small child
Actually yes! Hell, in the stage version it's quite clear Johanna is very much screwed up herself. She even is the one to kill the "doctor" in the asylum she was in. And it kind of implies that she's just hanging onto Anthony as a means to escape, and he is just to innocent or naive to realize they don't even know each other.
@@wandanemer2630 I thought she also did that in the movie? Like her and the gals all got a hit in while Anthony was like hyping them up cuz he’s an allyTM
Legitimately all I can think about when watching Sweeney Todd is the fact that a high school in my city did a production of it for their school musical and no word of a lie, some of the students accidentally actually got seriously injured during a throat cutting scene. They did not wrap the razor blade prop up in enough bubble wrap/duct tape apparently and two students had their throats sliced. It was national news in NZ. That is so not the way you want to go, in a high school production of Sweeney Todd
@@CT-se8vn yes they are okay!! The school was investigated by work safe NZ and had to enter into an enforceable undertaking agreement. They cancelled the rest of the shows for that year. Scary stuff though for the students and families!!
The Johanna song always makes me laugh because he was caught gawking by Snape and after getting his ass kicked he instantly starts again even LOUDER lmfao. I expected Peter Pettigrew to come back out and beat him down again haha.
Public service announcement: there IS an “S Todd, Barbershop” in Celebration, Florida. I’ve been there. It’s all Sweeney Todd themed with signed posters from the show and movie, there’s one British guy there doing haircuts, and he gave me an EXCELLENT fade for really cheap.
my parents always tell the story of seeing this in theatres and the whole theatre gasping/mumbling and generally being so confused when he started singing.
It feels so weird that we all watched this the day before Sondheim passed. What a talent. What a legend. Thank you for creating my favorite musical. May his memory be a blessing.
I love that they mentioned the Harry Potter thing with Wormtail and Snape in the same room, but didn't mention that we had both generations of Grindelwald (Depp and the guy whose irl name I forget and the name of his character in Sweeney Todd (it's the "I'll steal you, Joanna" guy))
Sweeney Todd in a Harry Potter nutshell: Snape stole Grindelwald’s wife and daughter. Grindelwald came back to London with his younger self for vengeance. Bellatrix is over her crush on Voldemort and now obsessing over Grindelwald. And Peter Pettigrew is still Snape’s servant.
The comment about the music being complicated in this is SPOT ON. I was in a production of this and there were almost no cues as to when we were supposed to come in for a song and it was rough but a fun time
I've played the Beadle on stage and bless him, Peter Pettigrew did his best but that song is HARD (as most of them are, it's Sondheim after all). Hit the highest note I've ever hit in this show too.
I always found it odd that the film cuts both "Kiss Me" and the quartet after "Ladies in Their Sensitivities", but it trims "Ladies in Their Sensitivities" so that it is only the beginning verse and final verse.
@@theassortedhobbyist forever upset the film cut kiss me! it’s one of my favs and it brings a bit of self awareness to Antony and Joanna and how insane and sudden their romance is and I feel like the story suffers without it :(
We need more twerkalongs from the Showmen for every Broadway musical movie there is. Not sure if you take suggestions but I’d love to see a commentary track for Chicago.
I just started college and I’m majoring in theatre (design and tech track). We’re doing Sweeney Todd and I’m the light board op for it and I’m so excited for it. This just made me even more excited
The kid that played Toby was the best singer in the whole movie, and that's saying something considering the majority of the performances were quite well done. I remember hearing once that Johnny Depp refused to take any singing lessons in preparation for his role. If true, he's got some natural capability on his side to say the least! Even Sir Alan Rickman did alright for his part, even though he did a little more sing-talking than actual full-on singing. Although I have a hard time picking a single favorite number in this movie, my three that tie for that spot are: "Nothing's Going to Harm You," "Pretty Women," and, "We'll Serve Anyone." I'm assuming those are the titles anyway as I don't recall specifically what each one was entitled. I think you all know which ones I'm indicating either way, though.
every time i see this movie i just get a flashback to visiting the london dungeon where they have a sweeney todd reenactment that makes you feel like you're about to get your throat slashed by him. you sit at a dining table with everyone else in barbers chairs and it's honestly CHILLING and so good
@@christopherscotts5797 No offense, but I wasn't big on big eyes. I really liked the performances, especially Amy Adams, but the directing felt uninspired. I don't know, just felt like anyone could have directed it. I only saw it once, so maybe I should watch it again.
This is the funniest commentary yet. I love this movie and sang every lyric with you guys. I actually cried from laughing at Eric's British accent at the end omfg dude
I come back to this video every time I need a Sweeney hit but don’t have the time to watch the whole movie. So I’ve seen it like 100 times at this point lol. Y’all kill me 😂😂😂
They comment about the score being complex around 12:20 and my god, it is. Before this movie came out, a lot of production teams didn't want to put this on because the musical score is so complicated in certain parts. It's gorgeous Sondheim classics, obviously but I swear, before the movie came out, you did not see many productions of Sweeney Todd unless it was the original Broadway runs in 79 - 80. Those are seriously classic, by the way, if you're into theater at all.
Eric doing an impression of a British child is one of the best things I’ve ever heard. Might be the hardest I’ve ever laughed while watching a PMI video, and that is truly saying something.
There was a barbershop literally called Sweeney Todd round the corner of my house when I was a kid. I remember my my mum telling me the story of Sweeney Todd before I'd ever heard of the musical!
11:31 I’m so glad this song is getting all of the praise it deserves, it’s always been my absolute favourite. That starting bit always gives me chills, Johnny Depp does a really good job of selling Sweeney Todd’s mental instability like he’s literally just one inconvenience away from slashing Mrs. Lovett’s throat 💀😭
The journey from “He kind of looks like Sacha Baron Cohen” to “That is Sacha Baron Cohen!” is amazing.
The real Sacha Baron Cohen was the friends we made along the way
@@eilir_adron I knew it was just Sacha changing clothes and prosthetics the entire time!
Lol
To be fair, it's always an amazing realization
Yeah, that was Sacha big reveal
“Peter petigrew has got a lot of confidence for someone who looks like that”
I saw this comment RIGHT before he said it
@@Maxisamo1 NO CAUSE SAME AHHA
From little lump of a boy to giant lump of a man.
We just did Sweeney Todd for our Halloween show and that's exactly what I said to the guy playing the Beedle. Lol like he's super confident for someone that's such a creeper.
Sirius deffo said that at some point
I saw this in a movie theater and didn't realize it was a musical until like 30 minutes into the movie
that's how you know it's a good musical
The opening song didn't tip you off?
In my local video store, they had a "Warning: This is a musical" sticker on the cover lmao.
I was the same with In The Heights
Me with Les Miserables. I had no clue going in that it was going to be nonstop singing with no gaps for regular speaking in between
3:35 Miles screaming “THATS A MODERN DOG” is so funny to me
"It hasn't been invented yet"
”THATS NOT A BRITISH DOG”. The implication ahahah
He’s right though. Terriers are way weirder looking than the did at the turn of the century
This is hands down the hardest movie to try and get people to watch. “It’s a musical-horror movie with cannibalism” not exactly a perfect date night movie.

@@christopherscotts5797 No offense, but I wasn't big on big eyes. I really liked the performances, especially Amy Adams, but the directing felt uninspired. I don't know, just felt like anyone could have directed it. I only saw it once, so maybe I should watch it again.
I don't think people ignore it intentionally. I forget it happened, frequently.
Anthony is also in Harry Potter!
Sweeney Todd has Snape, Peter Pettigrew, Bellatrix, young Grindelwald, and Fantastic Beasts Grindelwald!
This is the funniest commentary yet. I love this movie and sang every lyric with you guys. I actually cried from laughing at Eric's British accent at the end omfg dude
"Helena Bottham Farter" might be the funniest thing I've heard, "Deloris Yumbridge" is an easy second.
Helena Bottom Farter Depp Burton 🪄
The Sweeney Todd themed room in the London Dungeons is honestly terrifying and used to give me nightmares as a kid!
I come back to this video every time I need a Sweeney hit but don’t have the time to watch the whole movie. So I’ve seen it like 100 times at this point lol. Y’all kill me 😂😂😂
They comment about the score being complex around 12:20 and my god, it is. Before this movie came out, a lot of production teams didn't want to put this on because the musical score is so complicated in certain parts. It's gorgeous Sondheim classics, obviously but I swear, before the movie came out, you did not see many productions of Sweeney Todd unless it was the original Broadway runs in 79 - 80. Those are seriously classic, by the way, if you're into theater at all.
There’s a Sweeney Todd themed barber in Perth Scotland and amazingly there’s a greggs (chain bakery) next door to it
Eric doing an impression of a British child is one of the best things I’ve ever heard. Might be the hardest I’ve ever laughed while watching a PMI video, and that is truly saying something.
God I have such a great time just hearing you guys go ham on musicals, Eric singing along to like half the movie is so satisfying
“A lady in the sheets, but a freak in the streets” 😂 That’s fucking hilarious
6:29 Oh boy Miles, do I have news for you
There was a barbershop literally called Sweeney Todd round the corner of my house when I was a kid. I remember my my mum telling me the story of Sweeney Todd before I'd ever heard of the musical!
I'm singing along every time, the energy is infectious
the references to other musicals you guys do always kill me like "BEIING A PIE" plzz 😭
I looove the musical commentaries! Please keep these coming
i'm freaking wheezing this has to be the funniest track you're ever done 😂 love it
One of my favorite fan theories about this show (this movie in particular) is that Toby grows up to be Jack the Ripper
OH MY GOD I was absolutely OBSESSED with this movie in sixth grade!! It has its ups and downs but boy does it make me nostalgic
Hearing everyone sing along gives me immense joy, as a Sweeney Todd fan and a musical fan.
jack russells are literally one of the most common english breeds i’m done i’m done
the showmen never fail to make me laugh. thanks for this track, and the previous tracks y'all have done together. ❤️
thank YOU for watching, melanie!!
Rest in piece Sondheim. You were a true musical genius. Thank you for giving us this and so many other wonderful musical tales.
11:31 I’m so glad this song is getting all of the praise it deserves, it’s always been my absolute favourite. That starting bit always gives me chills, Johnny Depp does a really good job of selling Sweeney Todd’s mental instability like he’s literally just one inconvenience away from slashing Mrs. Lovett’s throat 💀😭
Always love a good Showman track! And this one was insane hahaha
I am so impressed by how well these guys know all the words & melody's of this score!
i just randomly found this video from the recommendations and i already love these guys.
