I cannot wait to see this movie. I have had the pleasure of seeing a preview at imdb.com, and that whet my appetite...a lot. I am a huge fan of both Depp and Burton, so I am looking forward to seeing Sweeney Todd. I actually saw the musical on video, that starred Angela Lansbury and found myself checking it out of the library, at least once a month. One of my favorite songs from that musical is "Not While I'm Around". It's a song that I find impossible to sing without breaking down. Did I mention that I can't wait for this movie to come out?

I don't know the first thing about the musical, but the Depp/Burton combo always result in good, if not great, productions.
