okay honey

Wet? Like by the sea?

If you like what you see. I do.

Wet? Poured for only two, but she did say a pussy should be good for six or seven, at least . . .

Hyper Baroque That’s some legit Sweeney Todd level writing right there.

I don't get it, to be honest

Nephtalí Garrido the joke is that putting someone in a cemetery, and having a funeral, can be very expensive. She's saying that by turning these men into pies, they're sparing the families of this extra expense

Nature Lover Absolutely right, lover. I love this show. And the music is to die for (not by having a barber slit my throat!)

I didn’t know that line even was in their ,

What's the meaning of that line?

AND, she's played Mrs. Lovett to BOTH of them!!!

trab49 omg I know

What I wouldn't do to be sandwiched between two Patti Lupones though..

That's the thing. They needed two Sweeneys to match one LuPone.

Would like to see Helena Bonham Carter do that.

How? Like well done steak?

Don’t cry for me Argentina

Yes! Removing that comma changes it all.

Hahahah I'm dying

@@beatriced222well........... Since you're dying let's put you in the pies =-)

He’s 85 these days and can probably out-sing half of Broadway. What a legend.

Yes - and he truly inhabited Todd, like an old skin.

@@judyo923 I saw him on Broadway with Dorothy Louden (thinking I had missed the best with both Lansbury and Cariou out of the show) and was stunned by how great he was. Then I got to see Hearn on tour in LA with Lansbury and was knocked out as well. Stunning performances.

I can't agree more! I think Hearn has my vote for best laugh though. :D

Fun

What great are those characters that such different performers can do them justice. Sondheim is a genius.

LuPone should play a witch 🤷‍♂️

Mrs Lovett's laugh is amazing 🤩🤩

Sweeney Todd and Tweeney Sodd

@@somnodaur8064 Sweeney Todd and Weenie Toad

+Cheyenne Printup Spamalot is filled with puns as well. Look up "you wont succeed on broadway"

yes but that show is punny and you would expect that in a show by monty python but a show thats only touch of color is blood?

+Cheyenne Printup Which actual puns are you referring to?

Eliezer Pennywhistler the whole song is like a giant pun... i love it

Eliezer Pennywhistler - Dammit you are right! There are no puns in this song. Maybe the word "Heavenly" because it could mean tastes good and the place, but that's it. So what are we really talking about here? Got it. "Only Sondheim could get away with a song filled with nothing but allusions."

Nah Lansbury did it much better. But that's just my opinion. She might not have had the better voice but her character is deeper than this lady's. She still did good but nobody can beat Angie's performance.

actually not. There are not enough fanfics. XD

Dude the comments are littered with fanfic moments of au possibilities

And Mrs. Lovett wrote most of them.

Sweeney Todd fanfics? You may have just changed my life :: runs off to AO3 ::

Oh holy shit, THATS SONDHEIM!

Lol, it even has George Hearn cracking up about that one.

I know, I love that laugh.

I'm willing to bet that was a real laugh haha

@@jacobfeagin8560 Absolutely totally from the heart xD

And it works - if he and George were playing the part the same way, it wouldn't be nearly as fun!

Omg Garrett!!!

Oh, you're here

Been here for a year get in line, my love

during my daily midnight sweeney todd binge i never expect garrett to be here but its not unwelcome lol

I never thought I'd find you on a song about cannibalism

Spooky Wow now that is an idea! 🤔 And always a little fight over Mrs Lovett. 😏😂

Sweeney Todd and Tweeney Sodd

...Dang it, I really want to see this now. Imagine Epiphany! Or The Judge's Return!

One for the Beedle and one for the Judge

What if Johanna wasn't Todd's daughter at all but he and his wife were looking after her for his brother who travelled over seas. He discovers his brother and the two hitch a ride with young sailor Anthony. They get back to London learn the story of Lucy and Johanna. Sweeney takes revenge on the townsfolk who had no mercy on his wife, only watched and laughed and the Beadle who lead his wife to her awful fate. The brother kills Lucy because of mistaken identity. And the brother the finishing blow to Turpin. But then Sweeney kills the brother. And instead of Johanna running off with Anthony, she runs the pie shop after Ms. Lovette's demise with Anthony and adopts Toby.

I think in the context of the show it needs to be. After the drama leading up to this moment and Sweeney's misery and anger building and building and building to the explosive "Epiphany" song - and the implications of Sweeney's devision for the inhabitants of London - you've reached such an emotional peak that you need a long comedy number just to diffuse all that tension. Plus, there are two things that everybody knows about Sweeney Todd: the murders and the meat pies (assuming they don't know the musical). The whole of Act One has built up to the one: now we need to give equal weight to the other.

If you can’t revel in every moment of this song, you probably should find a different show.

@@eprince7911 This is... a weirdly rude and pretentious way to approach a stranger. 1. I adore this song. Not sure what gave you the idea I didn't unless you presume the length of a song detracts from its value, to which I would respectfully disagree. 2. This song, as well as the musical as a whole, does deal with a lot of interesting themes. I particularly like the classism critique throughout. That being said, I think most people can understand Sweeney Todd. It's a renowned and beloved musical, but not complicated or niche enough to warrant your level of sheer insufferability.

Get out.

So....why did you stay for the entire 8 wonderful minutes if you didn't approve of the emotional respite that is this Sondheim treasure?

After reading this comment I can only think of that meme whenever that part of the song comes XD

😂😂😂😂 my favorite part!

Anna Campbell ITS PIPPING HOT!

​@@RosesNightengales then BLOW on it first!

Horniness? Where are you getting that from? I watched this, and didn’t see it at all. I totally disagree with the word being used to describe this

I'd throw myself at em

@@emilywebster1056 I mean Mrs Lovett is a widower who is pining for Todd through the whole play, who mostly doesn't seem to get it becuase he's focused on his revenge and daughter. I think Lust would have been a better term, but watch Lapone's movements and facial expressions. She does such an amazing job with it.

Milhouse that's the magic of proper delivery, patti is truly magical when it comes to that.

She does it the same every time but always a bit different and I think it's the fact how bad the puns are. 😂 That's what makes them so funny

I've watched this video more than a couple of times and I'm still laughing. XD

This is the dumbest comment I've seen in a long time.

More than a couple.

Right? They were unbeatable at the concert version together

jacksonkamiska I love when they do the Rear Admiral/General joke, both of them completely crack up, and it takes them a second to regain their composure, but even then you hear their voices wavering as they try not to laugh anymore to get through the rest of the song. 😂

Same! I'm pretty willing to sit through any stage version of Sweeney Todd, but given the choice, I pretty much always pull out the 2001 concert version they did together, simply because of how fantastic the two of them are together. I do have to say, though, the LuPone-Cerveris version is definitely worth watching if you can find it. As someone who dabbles in pretty much all areas of the theater, I found it fascinating to see how they worked out the aesthetic and staging.

Seconded! The Concerto version is the Best!

I agree completely! It and Epiphany are just so maniacally evil

I am NOT at ALL a fan of Patti's - but I must agree. She did a fabulous job here.

She is always brilliant.

Mc Kenna why don’t you like patti

@@ShuffleboardJerk I love Patti and there's no disputing her singing ability, but I hate her in this role. Listening to her pop into a poor migratory British accent for three words once in a while is awful. Just do her a favor and set the damned thing in San Francisco for her. Just for fun, though, I think it'd be amazing to see her do a few numbers in complete blackout wearing glow-in-the-dark lipstick, haha.

Calcium Chloride so you hate her in the role because she isn't amazing at an accent?

I think a lot of people have that "Patti" moment... It comes somewhere between understanding her pronunciation and feeling the rhythm of her humor. Once those codes are unlocked, she's phenomenal.

Catherine Elmore Well, they did the whole show together... it's somewhere on KZfaq, I'm sure.

I've actually seen parts of it, now that you remind me. That was awesome! Seeing all three of them together is just... yea!

the original filmed production with hearn is available on DVD at most barnes and nobels in the theatre section

Ben Enter riiiiight

Lyrics AND music.

Poor Michael 😂

I didn't always think so… but this performance has pushed me over the edge

+Countchrisdo Yeah, isn't Patti's great?? :)

Yeah one Mrs. Lovett isn't quite enough to handle 2 Sweeneys. But guess that just means she could have two seaside weddings.
