When Do You Think They'll Annouce The Rest Of The Sweeney Movie Cast?

Posted: 11/24/06 at 11:42am

With the addition of Sacha Baren Cohen as Pirelli in the movie, the thing I have to ask is when will they annouce the rest of the cast? I would think soon if they are to record to the soundtrack soon.

Also, one little thing. Since the Hairspray movie is wrapping up production, do you think it's possible that Christopher Walken might do The Judge in Sweeney? I think that he could really pull off The Judge well.

Hold on...wasn't it first announced that Jim Broadbent was to play Wilbur, but he dropped out because he was going to play Judge Turpin in Sweeney???

Laura Michelle Kelly is now (rumored) on IMDB as Beggar Woman, not Johanna.

IMDB is a very unreliable source.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I thought the Jim Broadbent rumor was that he was in talks to be in a movie musical, and it was assumed Hairspray...I could be wrong though. I thought they announced Christopher Walken not long after the Jim Broadbent rumor started.

"I hope you're all happy, keeping Alan off the team. Couldn't you, for once, open your minds and hearts and hear something that he couldn't see? I, for one, am glad that Alan is blind, so he can't see what, I am so sad to say, you can't hear." -Jerri Blank

Kelly has also been rumored as appearing as Sweeney's wife in flashbacks.

Ever since her name was leaked as a possible cast member, she has been 'rumored' to be playing just about every single female role outside of Mrs. Lovett. Time will only tell whether she is even in the cast, let alone who she'll be playing.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I don't know when, but I hope it's soon. That way I'll stop having small strokes everytime I hear a nasty casting rumor, such as the most recent one of Lisa Kudrow playing Lovett. I almost cried over the mere idea of that one.

Jim Broadbent HAD been announced as Wilbur in HAIRSPRAY and then there was this online (in other places as well)

They never said who Jim Broadbent was going to be playing in the movie or whether he was going to be in the movie. I still think that if they don't have someone for The Judge, Christopher Walken or Christpher Lee should get it
