@@MattWeisherComposer They are not lipsynching. The original poster cut together shoots from different nights to get coverage, but used a single sound recording from the performances (which is better for audio quality); since each performance is slightly different, the video at times gives the impression of lipsynching because movement will not match audio exactly.

At first, I didn't like this duo. Not as stylized as the Depp version and not as entertaining as LuPone, but these guys are terrifying, like an actual couple that would actually bury people in their basement. They aren't exactly fun, or even insane, but pure evil, which makes them a grisly and unnerving pair of protagonist villains.
@RickvanVeldhuizen
@RickvanVeldhuizen 5 жыл бұрын
I actually like them the most. I think LuPone was too sleek and jokey, and I like both Angela Lansbury's borderline crazy version, and the understated and sad Bonham Carter interpretation, but Imelda's bawdy fishwife cuts it for me, as well. I do contend Ball is more psychopathic than any other Todd I've seen, although it seems kind of congruent with the original, Len Cariou.

This clip doesn't do justice to the chemistry they had on stage, those complaining about Ball's performance it's fair enough to say from this but on stage it translates very differently and when I saw this version live they both sent shivers down my spine they were really amazing and I think this version makes them look unprofessional compared to how amazing they were live. It might be the fact that when acting in front of cameras you have to underplay everything and they are acting as if they are on stage in this so it comes across differently. Trust me, when you're in the audience it's much more subtle and atmospheric than you might be feeling from this.

To anyone who doesn't understand it's a staged performance, then I pity them. The essence of the whole thing isn't lost on me. Having been a huge fan of Michael Ball's since Les Miz back in the 80s, this video cements my reasons for falling for him to begin with. Couple that with the exquisiteness of Sondheim add in there Imelda Staunton and you've got pure brilliance. If someone watches this and can't see that it's their loss. It takes nothing away from the theatricality.

He seems even more dangerous than Voldemort, and that's saying something. xD Update: And now he is revealed to be an old and very frightening GRINDELWALD in Fantastic Beast, ahaha.

What a treat to see this.Thanks. I saw this production twice. People who are making unfavourable comparisons to the film can't have seen the whole thing. Michael Ball was brilliant. No one else can be Sweeney Todd for me not even Johnny Depp ( one of my fave actors). He was full of menace and was unrecognisable in the role and hes a proper singer. This was obviously filmed without an audience present they laughed plenty when it was playing & Imelda provided most of the humour.

2 astonishingly brilliant performances in a fantastic production. We all knew Michael Ball can sing and play the charming hero but here he is superbly cast against type and his pairing with Imelda Staunton is perfect. Their singing is the most tuneful of any pair, their diction impeccable with not an ounce of meaning lost, it's almost as if, despite the rhyme and music, it's a natural conversation - albeit between 2 very disturbed people descending into psychopathy.

indeed and if you think she is great here, she was STUNNING as Rose in the London production of Gypsy in 2015. THE MOST memorable stage performance I have ever seen. Sondheim is perfect for her

imho, Imelda Staunton nailed it, she inhabited the role doing Sondheim justice, even over Bernadette Peters, Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, and the also-rans. Which is saying a lot. Never, ever thought I could say that. 🤩

+amy clarke I thought Helena's performance was perfect in the roll, as was Johnny in his! I love Imelda's interpretation and Emma Thompson's as well. I don't think one needs to denigrate an actor's performance just because you're partial to that of another. They each bring a unique element to the wonderful character of Mrs. Lovett that makes each performance fresh and original. Plus, the understand the seeing of those performances. On stage, on must be over the top, but in the case of HBC's Mrs. Lovett, doing over the top stage acting would've clashed with the overall tone of the film. She did very well to give a more subtle performance.

Every other performance of the show I’ve seen, Sweeney and Lovett are at least sympathetic characters- it’s reasonably easy to feel sorry for them. This just makes them proper murderers. it’s spooky but great

Check out the 2014 film “Pride” as well. Not only do you find yourself rooting for her character, but she does a decent Welsh accent too (at least to the ears of this American who visits frequently).
