Ok, I have the score with me right now and I'm pretty positive he's holding notes quarter notes and halfotes out fr four beats and while holding them he sound sounds like a sheep...... Other than that it was nice, but while some experimentation is acceptable in this kind of musical, he distorted it a bit too much. Good voice though!
omg this was pure amazingness!!!!!!! what a perfect sweeney!!! he reminded me so much of george hearn!! LOVE IT!!! i can definitely see you as sweeney todd if they decide to do another revival of it on broadway.
omg that was awesome!!! i played ms. lovett in our schools production and i wish we had a sweeney as awesome as that!!!! total broadway worthy proformance!!!
Nice! Love seeing an actor connect with the rage in this moment!! (Tho I wish the conductor could have followed you better! Eh-- it always happens the night they tape it, right?) ;) I wanna know... did Pirelli really fit in that tiny little trunk?
He has great vibrato but he only got deeply into character near the end. I much preffer tim burtons version of it. I really think he should have shown more emotion throughout it all. I like how he switched moods so quickly it made him seem more insane where johnny depp appears more sane and abitious. Still superb 4/5.
I enjoy this performance, but for some reason it comes off as a tiny bit forced. Give this guy a year to work on his emotional flexibility and he'd be able to get this role perfect and make it seem like he really lost his marbles.
i love how he doesn't try and mimic johnny depps performance like alot of the videos ive seen on here, like how he has his own style and interpretation of it.
of course. I just mean alot of people take after johnny depps sweeney Todd, and also might not have heard of the play beforehand. All good performances, though.
Oh wow....I am speechless!!!...wow! This was amazing! I am playing Lovett in my high school's production right now and we just did this song today, and I fell in love with it...This made it my absolute favorite part of the show! This is phenomenal! I LOVE this Sweeney! Wow!!!
great acting Sweeney! i think Sweeney looks better with long hair(mostly because i have long hair) but it fits the character of the legend. supposedly, Sweeney was supposed to have a bushy mane in which he kept his scissors combs and things. so this works really well.
He is amazing as Sweeney. Didn't really like any of the other characters though. Especially what we saw of the judge in this scene. I didn't like him at all.
I hate the band in the background, either they are playing to loud or whoever playing Ms. Lovett is speaking to low. And when the drums came in, it was sickening. But besides that, I loved his performance, so much emotion.
Unbelievable performance! God... I have goose-bumps all over... his eyes, all wide open at the "you sir how about a shave" part are really creepy, and what a voice... incredible!
this is too awesome!! i so wish i coulda seen it. He's the best Sweeney Todd ive seen in a school performance! from the first bit when he says "Pretty Women" He looks like Johnny Depp
alex's voice is terrifying, powerful, and deep. I felt some vocal choices deterred the true sweeney (ie. holding certain notes takes away from the meaning). Huge potential to be remarkable
This was a very good performance...however, as others have said, the orchestra is lacking. I was very happy to see that this wasn't just another Depp-wannabe...
I thought this was a pretty good version. When I saw the still at first I thought it was going to be another Depp copy..but this was closer to Hearns Sweeney..
Really good singing from this guy.
Agree about the orchestra though. Although it could just be the recording quality.
This is really good!!!! Sweeney is good, and the acting is really good. The only thing that I didn't like is that the music sounds kinda sloppy. everything else is great though
Pretty good, especially for a non-professional production (is this at a college?) He has a great look for Sweeney too. Is that his real hair or a wig?
Too be honest I am very cynical, but this was a very good mix of all the versions of sweeney I have seen. If only the orchistra didn't suck, everything would be better than any version I have seen, wish I could have seen it in person. Most people made versions I have seen suck, this was probably the best non official version out there.
quite nice! you gave a good acting version too, although it lacked a bit in some parts, but the overall was really nice. is this a school production or was it in a theatre?
Holy crap he is amazing.
