johnny depp still done it better

And more menacing because you won't suspect if this guy is a serial killer. Unlike Depp's version, if you can't tell that he is, well you don't deserve the life that you have right now

I think he's an opera singer normally so that would certainly explain it ;)

Bryn Terfel. This is with the New York Philharmonic

Bryn Terfel is an opera legend, he has done every single baritone role and then some

Watch the 2001 concert (it's on KZfaq), it's amazing

I hope so. It’s incredible.

Yes 😊

@@MotivationalFusion1 I’ve seen both and I respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree

@@MotivationalFusion1 yeah

Jay is great! He was a great Raoul, too.

IKR⁉️

That’s why he didn’t kill him! That was bugging me so bad. Thank you. 😂😂😂

LOL yeah she should win a Tony or something. Audra McDonald @RachelGoad

Only won 6 Tony’s ... she’s alright 😀

@@bemer65351 Also this only her SECOND time playing this role! According to Wikipedia, She also played this role in the 2000 First New York Philharmonic Concert with George Hearn reprising his Broadway/Televised Tour portrayal of Sweeney with Patti Lupone as Mrs. Lovett: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweeney_Todd:_The_Demon_Barber_of_Fleet_Street#Principal_roles That was untelevised, unlike the 2001 Los Angeles Concert with George and Patti which had Victoria Clark playing the Beggar Woman.

I just laughed my ass off. She’s just the biggest Broadway legend of her time.

4:23 beggar is Sweeney's wife, she called him a fiend, putting up a “peace out” hand gesture

It's a really nice touch they added on (not sure if it ever was a thing in past productions but I haven't seen all of them).

@@aurumthebrave3427 Also pretty painful when you think of how, with the casting of Audra and Erin in this concert, both this mother and her daughter can TECHNICALLY be seen, image wise, as physical manifestations of both Sweeney's past memories of Lucy(through the mother) and also of his own wistful vision of a grown up Johanna(the daughter, despite the daughter's brunette hair) in his mind.

@@aurumthebrave3427 it's in every production.

Bro why is he doing that. I do love it though.

One, I LOVE your profile picture. Two, yes this song is def one of the best songs of the soundtrack. Probably my favorite.

Hello, can you tell me where you found this quote from Bernstein about being jealous?

Personally “I’ll steal you Johanna” has never been that uncomfortable to me as a woman, the one that reallly skeeves me is “I’d want you beautiful and pale with yellow hair like her” never was sure why

@@mist1241 Remember that Sweeney is insane. He's conflating his memories of his daughter with her mother and has an unrealistic view of both of them, remembering them as he left them and not as they became.

It's a musical set in the 19th century and literally everyone in it is or becomes insane. That lyric is kinda creepy but I think that's the point.

@@felixmarques Interesting perspective. Point taken.

Really?....Wow.... i think this Anthony did an awful job. He was having a very hard time finding his notes, his pitch was all over the place, and overall was just not consistent. He needs a lot more practice and maybe even more training. I think everyone else did a great job besides him. Seems like it may be a new role for him, and hes not confident in it. You can hear, see, and feel the confidence radiating from Sweeney and the Begger, i dont get that from Anthony at all.

@@KiLLJOY1056You have to be joking, he sounds absolutely great even if he’s not the most confident (which I don’t even get that impression)

It's supposed to overlap, it id showing the different attitudes towards her popping up

The musical has various moments where two singers overlap with eachother, my favorite song Kiss me/Ladies in their sensitivities has 4 singers overlapping with eachother and each half is singing a different song

But then the Sondheim purists wouldn't be happy because that's not what is scored.. can't please everyone!

Sorry, these are not pop singers free to do what they wish. This is carefully written and they must follow the score exactly. The conductor might retard here and there a speck but not what you wanted.

The Tim Burton flick is a crime. UGH.

respectfully you’re insane

idk if you're being sarcastic lol but if you're not: they use props- it's not best practice to have sharpened razors on stage lol

I don't know if you're being sarcastic so I'm going to try not to spoil Sweeny Todd if you just stumbled across this. Sweeny(the barber) is deported to Australia because the judge wants to be with his wife. When he got back to London his wife had disappeared and he learns his daughter is alive and he hopes that she is like her mother. Her mother had "yellow hair".

@@pianofry1138 I am lol. But I appreciate the synopsis, didn't know it was Australia. I legit cannot remember the cute boys name. It's not Michael.... it's something.

​​@@jaybonn5973 I know I'm a year late, but his name is Anthony!

I'm sure the production works regardless. The material is almost 50 years old

I saw Nolan do it at City Center with Joyce Castle. Nolan's my favorite, too, even over the original Len Cariou. Bryn ain't half bad, tho. Sigh.I'm sure they all get lots of concert and revival gigs to do it everywhere.

Pepper Hume Timothy actually did the role of Sweeney again in 2012 at the Chicago opera receivable, at 71!!! He would’ve been 74 in the 2014 concert, but at least he could nail a G4 (his range actually went all the way to B4) Bryn even struggled to hit the F4 in the end of epiphany. Timothy would’ve been far better here, an older interpretation of Sweeney would’ve been fabulous.

@@phantomphan873 Have you searched or found a video or recording of that performance? I've been a fan since he did Carlisle Floyd's Willie Stark in 1981.

I think you entirely miss the point. And don't know the show. All four are brilliantly cast.

He was perfectly on pitch. I think you need to get some training.

@@davenberryi was gonna say i was absolutely flabbergasted by the first comment, he sounds wonderful

I thought Johnson sounded beautiful ☺️

Attenberg IMO Timothy Nolen should’ve done Sweeney here instead of Bryn.

Ew. Just go ahead and keep that comment about Jay to yourself. Please.
