Sweeney Todd Rare 1980 South Bank Show Doc-London Cast 3/10

[spotoftrouble]

And also, I remember I performed Worst Pies and it is... hard... O.O Not only is the music fast and jumpy, but I found it hard saying the little comments and the whole 'fly on the pie' thing because I didn't do it with any props or tables. It is the craziest song I've ever sung. Props to everyone who can sing it!

[spotoftrouble]

Sondheim. You genius :D

[FleetStreetNightmare]

Oh wow, this is so fantastic! Where did you find this footage? I would love to buy the video of this

[CasualtyFan101]

In Tim Burton's film Pirellis Miracle Elixir has almost entirely different lyrics, bar the first verse :(

[FleetStreetNightmare]

@CasualtyFan101 yea, in the movie they changed some lyrics in order to better fit what was written for the screenplay for the movie (Poor Thing is an example of this, where they changed the lyrics in order to fit with the flashbacks they filmed).

[AngelorPhantom1359]

okay no wonder it was a flop in London when it originally premiered. This woman who plays Mrs. Lovett is HORRIBLE!!!!

[cygnusXhaust]

@AngelorPhantom1359 It doesn't hep that Sweeney resembles the Joker neither...

[SweeneyTodd98]

I wish he would explain every song :(

[2010Wilde]

Boy! Stephen sure put a lot of work into this!

[hellooldfashion]

[1037pm]

I know!

I was so mad when they cut him! :P

[charlottejena]

haha omg this is so different from the film interpretation! helena sounds more like a psycho self absorbed woman than a chatty and practical woman! lol.

[oohcool]

Well, do remember, Helena was in a TIM BURTON movie. Of course she will be psycho lol

[ImperfectlyPerfect2]

Is anyone else watching this with their head in their palm off to one side and a big, open, stupid, dreamy smile on their face in awe? Not that I am or anything like that...
