I, too, thought they'd announce who's co-announcing by now. Maybe Sid Gainis is going at it alone this year.

You miss the entire point. It's NOT that he's a tenor. That's not the problem. Though, the tenor thing is wrong for the part, IMO. The problem is that his singing does not reflect 16 years of pent-up rage. It does not convey 16 years of age and wisdom. The same can be said for Mrs. Lovett. Alan Ric...

So, basically, you're saying that no one but Johnny Depp could have done well as Sweeney Todd singing baritone. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I did not say that. Personally, I would've casted Hugh Jackman as Todd since he's a marquee name who's proven to be a more than capable singer. W...

Oh and Johnny Depp's singing was good. I think you might have said "in my opinion..." As a vocal teacher, I must say that he was NOT, IMO. And on stage, he wouldn't be heard past the orchestra pit. AND this musical was written for the stage, not for Depp, not for Carter and not certainly ...

In fact, Sondheim has said he disliked West Side Story . Yes. What I said: he really must need the money. I cannot believe that he would not care about musicals in general or West Side Story in particular. I have *never* seen this mentioned by anyone least of all Sondheim. Why would you bite the ha...

I think the problems with the way Burton ends the film is multi-tiered. I liked the violent aspect of the scenes, and the youth of Tobias certainly made it a more horrifying killing than it is in many productions. Still, the key problem is that Burton doesn't set up the ending enough. The character...
