I always found Mrs. Lovett annoying until I saw her as HBC. I felt HBC really captured the character and showed more of the personality, as opposed to "creepy girl who will do anything for the guy she loves."

HBC is my favorite. But Patti and Angela are both phenomenal actresses too.

Angela Lansbury for Acting

Patti LuPone for voice

Helena Bonham-Carter for making the other two looking even better than before XD

When I am pay money to watch a musical, I want to see performers who can SING. HBC is a terrific actress, but she has such a limited vocal range that she can't do justice to Mr. Sondheim's music.

I can't choose. Personally, I think Mrs Lovett HAS to be a LITTLE bit delirious and insane, but really, I think you can portray Mrs Lovett any way. She can be quiet or loud in this case. Honestly, I love the way the three of them did it and I wouldn't change their acting or singing. I love all three :) I just CANNOT compare them!

Ms. LuPone is perfect for this. Mrs. Lovett is supposed to be brash, and loud and gossipy. She finds trouble, and does whatever it takes for her man. Patti acts it the best and is a phenomenal singer.

@proud2bpink I agree with you!

@PrincessGwendolen - and can you imagine Helena performing it on stage? She couldn't even do it well in film - and that's so much easier than performing on stage. In film, if you goof something up, it can be edited out & you can do it again. On stage, you only have one shot at it.

Angela lansbury ftw!

Patti Lupone.

hmmmmmm this is a tough one i am a huge patti fan and in general her vocie is better than both of them and angela is great too a great actress but i feel for the role of miss lovetts helena actually fits better she as well as playing the part well looks the part. the mood about her and her interpretation and just her like "sweet creepiness". Her voice is not that bad. i guess idk i think in all she did a great job but all are wonderful! my choice helena.

Angela is FABULOUS! But I would prefer Patti cause she is a GODESS! SHE IS SO FREAKIN AWESOME AT THIS! And Helena.... ahh I dont even wanna talk about that failure.. director's girlfriend my ass....
