Tim Burton to make Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"
This was actually the first musical I ever saw in the theatre (aside from a high school production of "L'il Abner.") I was in the 7th grade at the time, and it gave me a very...warped...preference for the kind of musicals I enjoy.
It could either be really good or really awful. If Depp can pull of the low, low baritone for the part, and if Tim Burton can avoid going over the top (because let's face it, this show is already over-the-top enough) it could be very, very cool.
And what if none of their souls were saved?
They went to their maker impecably shaved...
