Why couldn't they have hired good singers for the SWEENEY movie? — Page 4

Regarding #4: since when has Mrs. Lovett not shown remorse for her actions? Angela's Lovett may not have cried, but she clearly regretted her actions (even as she did them).

Angela's Lovett may not have cried, but she clearly regretted her actions (even as she did them).

Really? Where did you catch that?

The whole point of Mrs. Lovett's character is that she is a woman with no moral boundries, with nothing whatsoever to recommend her. All she cares about is money, and Sweeney, for whom she has only a little girl's crush.

And she should be that way, because she is the villain of the show.

I'm a girl. And I don't even have the DVD yet; I remembered it from when I saw it in theatres 3 months ago.

I wasn't aware that you were the end-all, be-all of Mrs. Lovett's characterization, Bustopher. Just the look on Angela's face in the tour video as she locks Toby in the cellar is enough to show how torn she is.

Also, Judy Kaye in the tour of the revival is quite compassionate toward Toby and very upset when she realizes what she has to do.

No denying that she is quite twisted of course - she clearly cares for him and regrets what she does...but still does it. Takes a special kind of woman (and quite the devotion to your man) to do that to a kid.
