[BroadwayKeepsMeGoing]

legit? AUDRA IS THE BEST BEGGAR WOMAN! i can't even deal with this woman... the way she just decides to hold "again" she knows she was supposed to cut out a few measures back! i love her SOOO much ugh this is genius there NEEDS to be a video recording on here like NOW!

[evanescencerocks24]

Thanks for posting!! i was wonder which album you posted the songs from?? 

[tatyrules12]

dude! AUDRA PLAYED THE BEGGAR WOMAN!

i didnt know that,shes insanely hot so it fits cuz she has to be lucy

[BloodBrothersFan]

is the 2000 new york the same cast as the 2001 san fransico concert cast??

[Klyton]

For the San Francisco concert, Victoria Clark replaced Audra McDonald as the beggar woman, Timothy Nolen replaced Paul Plishka as Judge Turpin, and Lisa Vroman replaced Heidi Grant Murphy as Johanna. I believe the rest of the cast was the same.

[HiddenBeauty]

Wait- so on the 2005 revival CD does the Judge's return have City on Fire with it?

[Klyton]

Unfortunately no. The revival cast recording leaves out City on Fire.

[HiddenBeauty]

What CD's is it on?

[tonyzebologna]

uh! Why wasn't this in the movie?!

[Chriswren9]

Wonderful Mix!!!

Who was the Judge on the recording of Live at the New York Philharmonic?

[Klyton]

Paul Plishka. His only line here is "Where is she?  Where is the girl?" at 7:08.

[Misty15big]

wat is this play about?! I need 2 know and does anyone know wat role Audra McDonald plays?

[trinilos]

A barber is sent to prison because a corrupt judge wants his wife. He comes back 15 years later with a huge grudge and sets up a barber shop above a meat pie shop with Mrs. Lovett. He murders people (trying to get to the judge, who now has his daughter) and she grinds up their bodies into meat pies.

[Klyton]

Audra McDonald plays the Beggar Woman, starting at 4:50.

[The8reSoul]

Is there any footage of Victor Garber as Anthony? I would really like to see it.

[paulinemusic]

great mix!!

[creativecolors]

Do you think you will make more of these for Sweeney? Or any other musicals for that matter? There fun. I did see you made 2 for Sweeney but I thought it be cool if you did A Little Priest and etc.

[Klyton]

Thanks for your interest! At the moment, I don't have plans to make more of these for Sweeney, but it's always possible. I feel like the rest of the songs are so self-contained that it would be hard to put together a medley that didn't feel very choppy.

I made this one while putting together a playlist for the entire show, with the best songs (in my opinion) from each of these three recordings. But the ending tracks are so long and with so much going on that I couldn't settle on just one.

[BroadwayPottergirl]

who was singing the part of Lucy? Sorry, I'm out of the loop...

[Klyton]

That is Audra McDonald, from the Sweeney Todd Live at the New York Philharmonic recording.

[BroadwayPottergirl]

Yay! thanks so much! :]

[crawlfan]

Excellent choice using the Michael Cerveris version for the judge's death. I personally think he pulls off the "BENJAMIN BARKEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!" line off the best.

[ksnygirl]

I think George's is the absolute best...

[Mario54World]

I like to hear Audra Mcdonald sing, but she's an even better actress.

victor garbers got such a cute voice love sweeney todd xx :D

[Phoenix9109]

His voice is incredibly cute, but have you seen him? He looks...creepy. At least he is in the picture in my Sweeney Todd script/book. His sideburns are huge!

[prettyhot111]

No i never saw this can you get it on DVD ?

It was done a long time ago ... Im only 14 you see but it would have been amazing to go watch it ;) xx

[Phoenix9109]

You can get the stage version on DVD, but it's not quite the original cast. I have a book/script of it that I got when I went to New York, and it has pictures of the original cast. You might find a picture on google or something.

[prettyhot111]

Ok Thank you soo Much xxx Paige xxx

[Jal8919536]

Have you seen "Lady in White" (1988)? Cariou (Todd) played Phil 'the Cliffside Killer' who would molest children and throw their bodies from a cliff to wash away post-mortem evidence.

[kwgybo345]
