@lavalamp625 It's still more likely that it's because of timing- they can't have a three-hour long film. Plus if they brought this back in, thay'd have to add in part 2 and more of the Judge and so on, which would add so much more time to the film. Not that that's a bad thing, but they just can't do that.
I saw this the other day in Chichester!! It was amazing... but when this song came on... Made me sure! I WANT A BOYFRIEND!! :( who can sing this to me... hehe
we're doing sweeney todd in at a community theater, and i've only seen the movie. so when they gave us our cds for it, i listened to this song & now i'm in love with it. :)
This is such a hard song to sing, only one of my friends could ever pull it off, so i really hope she'll get the part, but i'm pretty certain she will. Sondheim is a pure genius. Sweeney Todd is simply a masterpiece!
@leahlovesroses heeyy, it went really well, i nailed the high notes ^^ i was just soo nervous, so when i was done, i walked away from the director and walked right into a table. lol, i have a huuuge bruise! how cool! :D ill get to hear it wednesday! ^^ are you already rehearsing?
@anneloeskrul heya! :) ohh well done then! :) so when do you know..? or do you already know?? :D and yeah! :) ive been rehearsing for about 2 months and we're on in like 1 and a half!! arhh!! ive got rehearsals later today! we're blocking today, so yeah.. my only problem is IM 16, but the anthony is 37!! :O a LITTLE awkward!! :D ahaa.. our voices compliment eachother tho, so thats a bonus! hes the best male singer in the cast.. :D are you english btw? random, but yeah! :P ill friend ya!! ah!:D x
@kakairuislove I truly honestly doubt you actually were in a production of Sweeney Todd. It would be very strange for non-choral students to be in large singing parts of such a vocally intensive show. Also, if your school is full of rednecks wouldn't their parents be up in arms over a school doing such a violent and dark show?
Let's not make up weird stories about being in shows you weren't actually in, thanks. /rant

omg!!!!!!!!!!!! i did this song forr my school sweedney todd playy!!!!!!!!!! i did super excelent!!!! i still cant belived tat i played johana for my freshmen year!!! i still know all my lines and my musicc!!!!!
@redsteelchair because in Mr. Burton's vision of the movie, he cut out a lot of things. first of all he cut out the songs that break the fourth wall, so that the audience would really believe they were watching a movie, second he cut out most of the comedic relief (AKA Antony and Johanna) to make a darker theme for the film. I agree with you though this is one of my favorite songs :P
@robotchicken15748 I agree because he also cut out alot of the funny stuff out of "A little priest" and I dont think that Tim wanted Johanna to sound so scatterbrained (you dont have a gate!) and whiney (you said you'd marry me monday that was last august) and stuff :/
I was lucky enough to see the US tour when they came to where I am, and I was absolutly blown away. It was soo amazing to see it live. Not to mention the cast was superb!
they just came to where i lived and i had the privlage of seeing it twice. i work at the theatre it was playing at and it was absolutley amazing! it completely beats the movie.
i'm rehearsing for johanna right now, and this is my favorite song. :) it's so fast and insane that it's really intimidating but at the same time the harmonies and clashing and matching of words is so pretty i can't help but fall in love with the piece!
holy crap

@redsteelchair They had a gate in the film version of Sweeney Todd and it says "Its a gate Its the gate we don't have a gate." So it wouldnt work.

@redsteelchair The actual answer is that they wanted to remove filler and as much romance as possible to focus on the mood and gore. I like the song.
