Sweeney Todd 2014 - The Ballad of Sweeney Todd (Finale)

[@darkstorm0433]

"Perhaps today you gave a nod to Sweeney Todd." A terrifying but accurate statement.

[@joed180]

Accurate, and smart to remember.

Sends shivers down my spine

i see christian borle i click.

[@kell_checks_in]

This performance "in concert" was better than most staged performances. (See the opening if you can. Lincoln Center. 2014) I still can't believe that the movie entirely removed "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" moments.

It’s the sopranos up the octave for me

[@irumadaimaou]

Christian singing this is all i needed

[@brady1407]

I’m sorry, but I’m a simple man. I see a pretty boy, and fall in love with the song

HUH ⁉️⁉️

Me

[@Eli_the_fiend]

That is correct. I agree 💯

[@memelord685]

I remember singing this at a concert LOL

CHRISTIAN BORLE AAAAAAAAAA

[@daniellahaastrup5086]

Ghoosebumps

[@essasto]

The guy who was standing next to Christian WHAT WERE YOU SINGING WHY IS YOUR VOICE SO HIGH?

[@essasto]

@@joed180 thanks!

[@joed180]

I like how they deleted my comment linking to the original. Petty haha

[@finleyforevermore]

​@@joed180 What did you originally reply?

[@charlessmith263]

So this song happens after Sweeney kills off the "pie making" lady after he throws her and locks her in a retort, incinerating her, and comes back to her original lover. embraces her, and then Toby, coming from behind stealthily, possesses Sweeney's dropped shaving razor unbeknownst to Mr. Todd, and then slits Sweeney's neck, causing Sweeney to die right in her arms, and Toby goes away. This leads to the ballad of the story of that barber-villain here.

Ths is good but it missing the final door slam at the end

[@lewis3415]

Chills

[@dianetheisen8664]

Most excellent

[@joed180]

Emma Thompson is absolutely amazing but she sort of swallows one of the most important lines in the whole show. Also what's up with the most anticlimactic exit ever? It's like they were like, meh ok we're done bye bye. Honestly I think this production is a little ham-fisted, and it kinda ruins it for me.

[@PipeRetrogamer]

No doorslam. 0/10

[@MarkusEmilBorg]

Have you seen the whole production of this version of the show?

[@joed180]

​@@MarkusEmilBorg No, but is there a door slam? No? I've heard enough. 😅

[@Girl-rj3qe]

@@joed180There is a door slam. Try to find the 1982 performance with Angela Lansbury and George Hearn. It happens at the end

[@joed180]

@@Girl-rj3qeThat’s what we’re talking about. This and other productions lack it, and it’s hard are accept it any other way. Or else, without *some* kind of punctuated ending.

[@altarush]

Was there actually real Sweeney Todd?

[@joed180]

Perhaps *today* you gave a nod to Sweeny Todd.

[@miyamcdonlad5482]

Actually there was

[@dianetheisen8664]

The closest you get is Jack the Ripper

[@VerdeMorte]

based off butchers in London using cadaver corpses dug up & stolen from graveyards, formaldehyde made people sick and insane as a result, aside from mercury in the brims of hats...

Why American accents? Don’t like
