I don’t really know the story of Sweeney Todd.
Probably will see “No Country for Old Men” eventually, and maybe “There Will Be Blood,” too...but didn’t want to watch either in the theater. I think both of those are pretty gory, too.
My brother said Juno was surprisingly good, but again, it doesn’t sound appealing enough to watch in the theater.
Heh...so far, the only things I’ve seen in the local theater have been operas. I is a snob. Or something.
It's a dark story. Basically Todd is a former prisoner turned barber. He sets up his shop over top of a shop that sells meat pies. Let's just say that thereafter the lady running the shop doesn't have trouble getting the supplies for her meat pies.
My favorite song from the stage show is "We'll serve anyone at all..."
And from that song. "The parson is a bit dry..."
