Not While I'm Around - Neil Patrick Harris - Sweeney Todd

[ChaosFanGal]

Why was Neil's character freaking about the coin purse?

[shadetc]

@ChaosFanGal It's because it's his old boss's coin purse. There's no way she should have it.

[OlafurNeal]

Oh wow!!! That was amazing!

[MrJjReta]

Oh my....that's something I didn't expect from him

[NellmonsterRAWR]

Ahhhhhhh....so amazing. He has a great voice. -3

[Dirschbag]

Good lord, I knew he could sing, but damn, HE CAN SING!!!

[jedihillis]

I think it's safe to say that this performance was Legend.......wait for it

Dary!

[Eruaphadriel]

Damnit. Neil, stop making hordes of women fall for you even more...

[iansarza18]

Sweet Lord that's beautiful

[blueblue930]

Thumbs up if you think Neil Patrick Harris should make an album :3

I love his singing voice ^_^

[DjVader112]

I bet that girl just wet herself

[kboojohnston]

oh my gosh i might die

[TunaTehLuna]

Oh my goodness gracious... I think I just died....

[emucow9]

his voice is so pure! freakin' tenors!

[phantomkitty1234]

O_O *imedietly favorites*

[crazy4celticthunder]

I love NPH!!!

[RobinsonBecca]

finally! i lve sweeney todd oh gosh i am telling my fiend about this she will freak she loves neil

[spanglishman1234]

1:12 that vein

[BeveragesAfterNine]

I remember seeing this when I was very very very very little. And then I saw "How I met your mother" and I was all like, "GOOOOOOOSH! I know this guy from somewhere." Now I know. That awesome feeling when you discovery a mystery from your childhood.

[fta0621]

this is so cute

[BEASTPRINCE09]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN WATCH ALL OF THIS?!?!??

[0xXxStella23xXx0]

@BEASTPRINCE09

Netflix. It's not on instant but you can get the DVD.

[NellmonsterRAWR]

I love this. :)

[cr0ssb0x]

This man is so damn talented.

[Misavampire]

OH MY GOD

[CaSeYMaY102]

LETS AGREE THERE BOTH PRETTY FREAKIN LUCKY

[LovesDrWho24]

He is amazing in this, but Ed Sanders was WAAAY better.

[brucekirk89]

he got a good voice damn

[sklig88]

I love NPH and he has a fabulous voice..but he's gotta work on his English accent for sure.

[harrypotterhead95]

Barney. 

[thebfbz001]

Is he trying to be American or British??

[rachelsings93]

Aww how cute it this xx

[Tenorsax621]

I LOVE NPH, but he's too old for the part. I'm sorry, his performance and singing are Legen(wait for it)dary, but Tobias better suits a younger child. Maybe that's just me.

[Jfireprime]

@Tenorsax621 Obviously, you haven't seen the original Broadway performance. Tobias was never a child until the Tim Burton film.

[Tenorsax621]

@Jfireprime No, I actually haven't. Thanks for the info!

[owlcitygirl100]

So cute it breaks my heart

[NightWulf66]

I would give his boyfriend a BJ just to see what he tastes like o.o

[ImJustAHacker]

Why is Neil Patrick Harris playing a seven-year-old...?

[Littlekittybean]

@ImJustAHacker

Because in the Broadway show, Toby usually is a relatively young man, not boy. He's only that young in the movie. If you look up the original cast with Angela L, and see that Toby, now that's a weird thing to see.o.o

[ImJustAHacker]

@Littlekittybean

Inconsistencies piss me off.

[CaptainSamTodd]

@Littlekittybean

Tobias is an older man who is mentally challenged.

He has also been played by a child.

Either one is correct.

[Littlekittybean]

@CaptainSamTodd

I don't think he was portrayed as a child until the movie, though. I know if can be done either way, but most of the stage shows have someone older as opposed to a child.

[wwp901]

talent just drips off this man.

[MsHappyKat]

beautiful

[Alice95Marie]

so so moving! I love it.

[singsingsing20]

as a little girl I cried when I found out he was gay cause I wanted to marry him and still do lol

[DarthxErik]

he has such an amazing voice. So pure! What a wonderfully talented man.

[Cambieheartsyou]

Nothing's gonna harm me. Not while Neil's around.

[loveladygaga12345]

@coconutnacho So true!

[Vindkvarn]

Well this isn't something you see on How I Met Your Mother

[ImJustAHacker]

@Vindkvarn

You've obviously never seen the uncut version.

[coconutnacho]

.....oh my god...combining Neil Patrick Harris with Sweeney Todd. Awesome

[CaliCaliente00]

wow, Patti is gorgeous in that gown :D I love this song. I wish I saw this show on live...ç_ç

[HeartlessKid15]

Everyone's jizzing their pants over nph-and for a good reason, for sure-but what about patti lupone?!? Do you people not recognize brilliance when you see it? She's the bomb! And she has nice tits for a woman her age!

[PrettyFly4AWytGurl]

shouldnt toby be a litttle younger?

[aGiirlsDream]

Oh my gosh *-* I can't believe it, Neil Patrick Harris and Sweeney Todd. *-* :)

[kate9987]

I love you so much Neil Patrick Harris!!!! *cries* i love him so much!!!

[amcoca]

WWNPHD?

[babyfouche]

I LOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!

[murrrification]

neil is in EVERYTHING

[MissDevPink]

this is sooooo sexy<3 i freaking looooooooove him!!!!!!!!!!

[presqueislepwnz]

NPH + Sweeney Todd = Life. MADE. <3

[TheGeorgiaRiley]

I really love neil and patti, their voices sum up what broadway is but man, americans fail at british accents.

[WatThePho970]

@TheGeorgiaRiley Well, James Marsters (a.k.a. Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) does a pretty good job with the accent though. :D

[BluberryMuffin652]

@TheGeorgiaRiley What about JOHNNY DEPP as SWEENY TODD and these guys are pretty damn good at their accents

[TheGeorgiaRiley]

@BluberryMuffin652 not really, when he sings the american accent sometimes comes through..

[specialmehyaya]

Oh. My. Gosh. To not only have that wonderful man singing such an amazingly sweet song in an even sweeter voice, but to touch him, to hold him like THAT....I don't care, he could be a eunich monk sworn to celibacy, he's PERFECT.

[MrsJakobGyllenhaal]

He has a wonderful singing voice. Awesome actor!

[FancyFancyName]

Dat falsetto. Damn.

[TardisEqualsLove]

WHY DIDN'T I GET TICKETS TO THIS.

[FanOfThePhantom]

I dont care if he's gay or not! He iz one hot guy!

[qtdeZzi]

I want to see Neil Patrick Harris do this again, but back when he was Doogie Howser size <3 it feels weird watching him so old... playing such a young character i mean. He sounds terrific and looks amazing!!! Omg I want him... Ahem I just mean that he doesnt look like a young teenager

[enterthedome]

@qtdeZzi He's not supposed to be a young teenager. He's supposed to be a mildly retarded young man.

[TwilightCrazyFan131]

that was soooooooooo great

[DancerNowAndForever]

We're watching this in our Honors Ensemble Class before finals because we don't have one. It's an ALL GIRL CHOIR. Needless to say, the "awws" were going throughout the entire song!!

[bulldawg941]

I dunno, I keep seeing Neil in a lot of this...not Toby. Love his voice...but it's hard to believe he's young.

[quesoboy88]

@bulldawg941 Toby isn't supposed to be young. He's a mental patient in the original story and that gives him the mentality of a child

[bulldawg941]

@quesoboy88 Seriously?? That's awesome I never knew, I'm so used to seeing him as a boy!

[LoveOrBeHated]

5:22 haha what would Barney say about that himym fans

[LoveOrBeHated]

his accent <3

[MrsMalfoy2]

Neil can do almost anything. He's pretty much amazing, imo.

[Sasoriscarecrow]

NPH! Why did you have to get married,when your true love is over here!!!???

[willie6586]

NPH is the man!!!!

[Otogi87]

Hes the freakin man if he wasnt gay hed be my hero

[KMStone0831]

@Otogi87 Why does him being gay have anything to do with that? He'd still be amazing even if he was a poodle.

[Otogi87]

@KMStone0831 he is amazing im just saying i cant have a role model that's gay that would be gay

[PotentiallyBroadway]

@Otogi87 I really hope you're trolling, because that's probably the stupidest argument I've ever heard.

[KMStone0831]

@Otogi87 That's a terrible thing to say. Gay is NOT a synonym for stupid, or dumb, or wrong. Get it right.

[59pgf]

@KMStone0831 speaking as an academic of the english language the word "gay" actually does carry a negative connotation with some instances. Just like blonde is a slang word for someone of lesser intelligence. Being blonde doesn't mean you are stupid, not at all. But the word blonde now has a double meaning of "someone with blond hair" or "stupid". Even the word dumb hasn't always meant dumb. It is supposed to indicate someone who is unable to speak.

[59pgf]

@KMStone0831 So when someone uses gay as a negative word, don't react, let it roll off your back. Reacting gives their use of the word power.

[HeartlessKid15]

To the people who said they prefer the movie version and the people who insulted patti lupone-OH HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patti lupine is mire amazing than any of you will ever be.

[overitoperaa]

Why don't more people dislike this?

[DancerNowAndForever]

@overitoperaa Um...it's Neil Patrick Harris. And it's great.

[overitoperaa]

yea, you would know, @DancerNowAndForever

[theblock14]

hhrrnnngg. Two of my favorite things together. NPH and Sweeney Todd ♥

[amazingme1515]

Are people seriously referring to Patti LuPone as "that girl"!? She is a Broadway legend people! I really do love Neil Patrick Harris though. I love seeing celebrities known for their TV and movie work be able to have presence and talent on stage.

[NerdyRockstar13]

this is just another reason that NPH is legen- wait for it.......DARY!!!!!

[Aidyoos1]

Mrs. Lovett's one lucky bitch I would DIE to have Neil Patrick Harris sing this to me <3 ;P'''''''.....even though he's gay I DON'T CARE! Like if you agree :P

[CaptainSamTodd]

@Aidyoos1 It's HE who is the lucky one! That's Patti LuPone!!!

[Aidyoos1]

@CaptainSamTodd Touche, touche...

[vampirfanxD]

@CaptainSamTodd who? the woman next to Neil Patrick Harris? she's the lucky one!

[gooaygar]

@Aidyoos1 although stright as an arrow but i have to say i agree with you

[KeikoxKat]

@Aidyoos1 Hes not gay hes " a sexual being" his exact words xD

[nybotheveg]

@Lovett19991 (as a guy) u mad sis?

[PlienxXxPandaSmiles]

@Aidyoos1 JUST what I tought when I saw this^^

[chitowngirl1485]

I don't care that he's gay, I want to marry Neil Patrick Harris and have his babies!

[dropkickgal16]

That was amazing!!!!

[Inurantchan]

I agree..the girl is annoying talking during the song. I prefer the movie song and singing wise. But story-wise this makes much more sense then a little 10 year old being in love with what? A 40 year old woman, or older? It wasn't as believable, it just made her come off as more of a mother figure than a lover. I like his singing better too. This isn't NPH's best in my opinion and I do like him

[armlessfapper]

The chick is annoying as fuck

[Crwthy]

NPH is the perfect Toby.. The plaintive innocence in his voice suits the part to a "T" .

[Firestarhk]

This is the only version of the song I listen to.

[AlecZacJustinwWife]

1:02 I thought he was singing Phantom of the Opera

[TheJohnPhenomenon]

mrs. lovett has a nice rack

[KayLDay]

I want to see this whole thing. (:

[BadWolfBadDalek]

@KayLDay You can buy the complete play with NPH on amazon

[Ahuey88]

Isn't he a lil old for this role?

[KelseighAnne]

@Ahuey88 Nope, Toby's supposed to be a mentally handicapped adult. The movie's the only version where he's a kid.

[megan132]

@Ahuey88 the broadway version, which was made and produced back in the 70's, has tobias as an older (20's) mentally challenged man. the movie is the only version with a child.

[rnuttin91]

5 people were harmed..



[Firesparkler227]

Neil Patric Harris *Stars in eyes* In Sweeny Todd, God does exist.

[MirTheCarny]

Oh dear lord, Neil Patrick Harris, YES.

[loopykate]

Sounds australian. Very good makes me giggle :P

[0o0Martijn0o0]

This is amazing... But I am disturbed by the lack of suit in this vid :|

[hpNerd97]

I do believe Neil Patrick Harris is the most charming man on earth.

[jedihillis]

Wow. I remember him from Dr. Horribles Sing along but I don't remember him having this caliber of voice. Really impressed.

[LadyKariana]

OMG....NPH hitting that high note...Holy shite....I looooove this one.

[MyRayrayhercules]

He was in the original cast right? The midget with Angela Ansbury and George Hearn?

[neverlandchick09]

@MyRayrayhercules no he wasn't in the original cast. the first toby was ken jennings

[mashellshock]

Oh dear goodness, this is fantastic.

[Katybug656]

This man is a broadway god! he and Ramin are my favs!

[mashellshock]

@Katybug656 Do you mean Ramin Karimloo? Because he is fantastic. :)

[Katybug656]

@mashellshock Yes yes I do lol

[LovinoV]

Oh Neil, why ya gotta be so adorable so much? ;-;

[CUZZOigodumb]

i like the movie version better!

[Dizzymack1]

NPS can can sing?

[ih8clownsproductions]

i........will never stop watching this video

[nvskidude]

WHEW!

[HeartlessKid15]

Tomboy-his first name is Neil, not Patrick. His middle name is Patrick.

[Pence0503]

I WOULD PAY $1,000 to buy tickets to watch patrick neil harris do this agian

[The07daniela]

@Pence0503 Everyone would! =) Is so incredible!

[supergirl04p]

amazing tenor!

[ArianaGrandeFan1100]

this is beautiful! love patti lupone, shes brilliant as mrs lovatt :DD<3

[Tomboy2211]

Patric Harris is awesome, as Partric Harris - not Barney Stinson or Spiderman, just Patric<3

[DrSamanthasaurus]

@Tomboy2211 It's Patrick* xD

[Tomboy2211]

@DrSamanthasaurus

I love failing at life :3 I wasn't sure because a lot wrote it like a patric and only one wrote it as patric :/

[DrSamanthasaurus]

@Tomboy2211 It says in the description, and I'm just a huge NPH fangirl... Well at least now when you write it again it will be correct! XD

[DesteryMcLaughlin]

.. The original is better.

[therealdrcrazy]

Who's Barney Stinson... This guy voiced Spider-man :P

[theonemattock]

He's got a good voice but he can't do an English accent and he'll always be Barney Stinson.

[kb3nschool]

He's Perfect



[MrDefyinggravity1]

is this on DVD?

[Beejeification]

@HmongLauj92 that's a really ignorant comment. Theatre is a highly sacred art that you may never understand and may not be interested in at all, but you do not have to make rude comments like that. I'm straight and absolutely love performing. Yes, there are gays that happen to love performing as well, which I have no problem with, but I don't assume everyone in the theatre is gay. There are certainly gays doing what you're doing, so don't go around making tasteless remarks like that.

[hpgirl713]

Neil Patrick Harris is such an underrated performer... :)

[ConfusedHippos]

I definitely prefer the movie version...this is good, but the child is so much more charming and Helena is a better Mrs Lovett :)

[CheeseLovingChester]

He is fantastic!

[TotalWarrior1993]

sorry but his accent is ass

[KBlocker29]

@TotalWarrior1993 I was too busy being in awe of his awesomeness to pay attention to his accent.

[TotalWarrior1993]

@KBlocker29 nothing awesome about that accent!

[iPeace460]

O.O

I just......

asdfghjklouytrrwq.

[randomvids1115]

neil patric harris singing sweeney todd...my life is complete

[MyFamousPony]

NPH as Toby O.O why was I not aware!! can someone tell me which production this? or a link so i can see the whole thing?

[PeachIntoxication]

I'm just crying. NPH just breaks my heart. Everything he does is so beautiful. Such a beautiful person...Inside and out. And I can't have him. Heartbreaking.

[qtdeZzi95]

I feel so many emotions with NPH, i love him so freaking much!!!!!!!! omg...

[miyanagirl]

hmmm 1 person needs a shave, unless they were crying so hard because of NPH's wonderful voice that they missed the right button.

[littlemissjaded12345]

I learnt somewhere some time ago that all, or the majority of actors learn singing skills at some point regardless of where their acting careers lead them. (can't remember where I got the idea from though)

Not sure if it's still the case. But I feel that it's always a very handy thing for actors to learn for the future. 8-)

[littlemissjaded12345]

OMG! I never knew Neil Patrick Harris could sing! He's very good! 8-)

[MegOriginProductions]

...Barney... Marshall and Lily will blackmail you with this one day. Be careful.

[FlatSpade]

I actually don't like this.
