Me: "I can't wait to see the comments section. We can all talk about the characters, our favorite parts, and the incredible genius of Sondheim's lyrics.
*Every single solitary comment is comparing the musical to the film*
I love this version AND I love the movie version.. they're two separate entities, in my opinion. The movie is darker, and this one is more fun.. but they can't really be classed as the same thing, because they're too vastly different.
@DramaMajor713 Exactly. This is a play, the movie is a film. Some things that you can do onstage just don't translate well to films. The movie is wonderful, and the play is wonderful, each in their own way.
@khfangirl01 because in a stage production things need to be exaggerated A LOT so that even the people in the very back can tell the expressions and so the people can get a sense of HOW happy sad or mad the characters are
i wouldn't agree with some of it. i mean, if you are familiar with the original, i would guess so, but it just seemed that most of the jokes were removed from the movie.
@khesed I really have to agree, Though this kind of world is perfect for Tim Burtton to do a film. But the thing about this musical is that its a black comedy. I honestly despise the film. The singers were horrible compared to these fine fine singers.
These guys are absoltely fabulous! I love the part when Angela hits him in the begining! so funny!! This is the best song in the play. George's expression when he said "AHH!" when he gets Mrs. Lovett's idea is great! But the best is when he says "That everybody goes down well with beer!" SO HILARIOUS! And the way he laughs when he says "It's piping hot!" HAHAHA!! Shame they took out all the humor in the movie. :-(

If you listen to Mr. Todd after Mrs. Lovett's dance at 6:40, he's stifling a laugh xD and I don't blame him!

I've watched this version in its entirety on youtube, and I've seen clips of the movie, and the play is much better. At least in my opinion.

Oh I completely agree. Like the General without his privates, its the best line and they cut it from the film.

Yeah the play is a lot lighter than the movie. It's more of a dark comedy, whereas the movie is just one creepy scene after another.
