Sweeney Todd

Filed under: Verbal D — KatB @ 11:49 pm

So I went and saw Sweeney Todd this week and being a Tim Burton fan I quite enjoyed it. Of course I enjoy dark, twisted humor, irony and musicals and the production was great all the way around on this one. The singing was way better than I had anticipated it (the whole cast sings and includes the likes of Johnny Depp and Sacha Baron Cohen) would be and how can you not enjoy lyrics like:

“There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit
and it’s filled with people who are filled with shit!
And the vermin of the world inhabit it!”

It was also bloodier that I had expected but then that ties into the dark humor. So yet another Tim Burton classic is born.
