Did anyone see the Sweeney bits in the Jersey Girl movie with Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck? Anyone know anything about where that was taped and who was involved?

I saw the movie before I got into broadway. I know there was a joke that everyone else performing a song was doing Memory from Cats, and then Ben and Liv did Sweeney with the girl. I forget the rest of it. Anyone remember what they sang?

Earlier in the film, Ben Affleck takes the kid to see Sweeney Todd on Brodway. They show clips of "Johanna" (reprise), when Sweeney's slitting his customer's necks. I don't know how or when that was filmed.

Here's Kevin Smith's blog entry on seeing the new production:

I happened to be flipping through the channels, and heard "Johanna". So, I immediately went back to the channel, and found it to be a Ben Affleck movie, not the Sweeney video. I then changed the channel.

Good for you. It's an awful, awful movie.
