I was wondering what she would look like. I don't think I'm that crazy about the wig, though.

That first picture is horrible. The 2nd one is slightly better. There's no way to make Judy Kaye look as menacing as Patti did/does.

I like the second picture, but Patti mastered the look.

Patti mastered the look, but somehow, Judy will be fine. Thanks for sharing.

I don't care about how she looks (actually I think she looks fine for Lovett) I am just so thrilled to have someone other than Patti in this role. If I can't get rush tickets on wednesday for 3penny, I'll see Sweeney again for Judy. I bet she'll be great.

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

She sure looks insane. I don't understand *why* Mrs. Lovett has to have black hair though.

"Not lovin, JUDY but PATTI was better 2nd pic better"
Was that supposed to make sense?

if they were going to make all the lovett's have a black wig, why can't they all have the SAME style? Judy seems to have the same style as the one dorothy wore on the regis and kelly performance, as opposed to the sleeker one patti wears

I'm assuming it has to do with the actor's individual hairstyle. Patti sports a bobbed wig, which is identical to her natural bob.

The color of the hair doesn't matter at all. The problem, due to that pictures would rather be, she doesn't look eerie in any way. Which she at least a little bit should. She looks like a loving mother. Well sort of.

I don't think rentlover123 knows what he/she is saying.

Because that made no sense at all.

Both Patti and Judy look far too polished and Broadway, not enough grit or Eastend - too glam and not enough fur coat and no nickers.

Karen Mann was the real thing; I miss her leaopard-skin coat and trumpet-playing

Judy looks too frumpy and not as menacing, more having the exterior Angela seemed to have. Oh well, I like it, but nobody can master the sex look like Patti :-O

Hmm, no Angela Lansbury had something natural witty in her way which Judy lacks, too soft for Mrs. Lovett.

Having seen her perform many times, I think she'll be great. Part of the fun of seeing different actresses perform this role is that it's largely up to them how manipulative and co-conspiratorial they make the character. She won't be Patti, but then, Patti wasn't Angela Lansbury or Dorothy Loudon, either - both of whom were also brilliant.

Does anyone have pics of when Beth Fowler undertook the role in 1990?

i think you guys are being way to harsh. I think she looks quite good. I would love to she her in the role.

I actually think she looks better than Patti.

Well, not better in the sense of more attractive, but I totally get her casting now (I didn't quite get Judy being cast in this production before seeing these pics).

30/90- I thought this was the same wig that I saw Dorothy Stanley wearing when the cast performed on Regis & Kelly during Tony week.
