Having seen the production in London, I think she might fit right into this very odd but exciting interpretation.
That said, I think it's a little premature to say anything until she's officially cast...

Posted: 4/26/05 at 12:57pmI think she definetly has the look Mrs. Lovett needs. And she can be warm and crazy at the same time, so she has that in her corner. Her voice is heaven, but she will definetly need to work to get rid of some or all of the rock flavor. I think I am most concerned about the acting...

Posted: 4/26/05 at 1:27pmAwesome, awesome idea. She'd be brilliant.
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

Posted: 4/26/05 at 1:54pmI think she would be great. An inspired choice. As for her acting, she was either nominated or won an Emmy for acting, so there shouldn't be a problem.

Posted: 4/26/05 at 3:05pmI think it'll be a wonderful move on the producers part besides her being wonderful in the part in it of it's self. She has proven her singing and acting talent and her personality will bring something new and different to the part of Ms. Lovett! I personally can't wait and will be first in line to see the show! The question is....who will be Sweeny Todd? hhmmmm
Happy...Everything!

I did vote thumbs up as well. Cyndi has 112 votes for *yes* so far.
I agree that the subject matter is a lot to take--cannibal pies and all, but if Cyndi is in it, I'm going no matter what....
