Not gonna lie, I'm a bit underwhelmed...Sorry, I'm holding my breath a bit with this project because I hold the show so dear to my heart.

Yeah, I don't blame you. I love Sweeney, like Johnny Depp, and I either really like or really detest any Tim Burton stuff I've seen. But Tim Burton's proved his ability to manipulate a horror musical sorta thing. So I suppose that if Sweeney could possibly be made into decent musical at all, I'm hoping Tim Burton can....

I just hope Burton puts as much soul and enthusiasm into this as he did into Nightmare Before Christmas. I trust Depp to immerse himself in the part, although his hips do look a bit Jack Sparrowish in this picture.
