Sweeny Todd

Hey all,

My name's Jaime. I'm from Minnesota and LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE (hope you guys like O's...LOL!) musicals and Broadway. First person to guess what musical my screenname is from gets a cookie...an imaginary cookie, of course!

Not that I couldn't make you a real one.

I'm serious.

I make great cookies. LOL, jk.

Aaaaaaaanyways, I'm really excited to be here and talk about musicals with you guys (my favorites are Rent, Spamalot, and Xanadu - those are the ones I saw on my only trip into the city)! I just made this thread for two reasons. One, hi. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to all of you. Two, I was wondering if any of you knew about the musical Sweeny Todd? I just found out about it yesterday. I couldn't believe that there was a musical based on the movie with Johnny Dep! I've been listening to the soundtrack over and over, almost as much as the Wicked soundtrack. Don't worry, I'm not a crazy Wicked fan or anything like that. I am, however, a craaaaaaaazay RENT FAN! That's sort of an indie, under the radar show so I don't know if many of you know about it.

They should definitely put the musical of Sweeny up on Broadway. If they couldnt get the original movie cast, this is who I think would be greaaaaaaat...

Sweeny: Cheyenne Jackson (soooo cute...who's he dating? Is he available...? =)
Mrs. Lovett: Cameron Diaz (IDK if she can sing, but she'd be so funny. And be a sexy Lovett, too - J. Depp could do soooo much better than Helena)
Beetle: Nathen Lane
Judge Turpen: Matthew Brodrick (It'd be so cool to see him and Nathan together again...they were soooo funny in the Producers movie, and I just found out they were both in The Lion King)!
Joanna: Taylor Swift
Anthony: Any of the Jonases...take your pick...=)
Tobie: Freddie Highmore

Well, that's my whole "schpeel". I'll see you around, guys!

<3 <3 <3,
Jaime

Can you grab me some too, mama? Make sure the guy puts like half in, does some butter, then fills it up and tops it again with butter.

The Girl in Rubber, welcome (if you are real) just a heads out, you will be made fun of.

---

Other than the musicals you have already listed...name some other favorites.

Have you met Chip?

Sock Puppet

Sock puppet? What? So random...

The Girl In Rubber, you remind me of someone I know very well.

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing Freddie Highmore as Toby. Granted, I think his voice has broken by now (he's seventeen, after all), so he'd be too old to play Toby in the style of the film, but in a few years, he could be quite good as Toby in the stage tradition of casting a young-looking adult.

I miss the days when sock puppets tried.

I've been looking for something mindless to read. Thank you.

Side note: I too would pay some of my hard earned money to see that RENT cast.

---

Your "dream cast"...not so dreamy...that's like a nightmare cast of Sweeney Todd, and the movie is based on the musical, not the other way around. and I don't know which show you said was an indie show either RENT or Sweeney Todd, but neither of them are, both have won Tonys and have a large fan base

---

I'm not a sock puppet, ignorance just irritates me. Seriously though, a Jonas as Anthony? That's just...no...never...

Taty isn't as theatre stupid as she makes it seem.
