Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
It was surely only a matter of time until Tim Burton turned his dark attentions to the 19th century tale of Sweeney Todd, the cutthroat barber whose tales of murder and most grisly commerce on the streets of London became the stuff of an award winning 1979 musical. Here, a cast including longtime Burton collaborators Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter--plus Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall and Sasha Baron-Cohen–-breathe new life into Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s musical tale with a special gothic relish for the simmering horror within. Depp’s accomplished, haunted "No Place Like London" sets the scene for what’s to come, the nation’s capital introduced as a moral abyss ("There's a hole in the world like a great black pit/And the vermin of the world inhabit it"), while Bonham-Carter brings Cockney energy and a squirt of sauce to the "The Worst Pies in London". A neat comic turn, meanwhile, comes courtesy of Baron-Cohen, who plays the role of Italian barber Adolfo Pierelli–-inventor of a fraudulent anti-balding lotion–-with humorous gusto ("The Contest"). –-Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars And this was Beautiful..., 5 April 2008
If you loved the Stage Musical, and loved Tim Burton's Movie Adaption, then there is no question about it. You must have this Album. It is almost every single sung line from the movie, minus (thank God)Timothy Spall's intorduction to the 'Pretty Women' duet sung by Alan Rickman and Johnny Depp. There are some spoken lines on CD as well, such as, 'At last, my arm is complete again,' as well as a line from Alan Rickman. It does not however include the last reprisal of 'Dam that's Good' at the climax of the movie which does give the album a strange ending on 'Nothing's going to harm you.' The album itself comes complete with words to every song on CD. If you are looking for some score music from the movie as well, hopefully the Introduction Score will be enough for you, as that is the only score sample you get. It is called Highlights for a reason. Obviously most of the songs from the original stage musical have either been trimmed or cut for the movie adaption as the stage musical is three hours while the movie is only two. This Album is a wonderful piece for Tim Burton Fans and Sondheim Fans alike, and garanteed you will listen to it over and over and be reminded of the beautiful, emotional (and yes gruesome) Story that is Sweeny Todd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting!!!!!, 31 Jan 2008
By L. Arrowsmith "Film buffy" (Staffordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The soundtrack to the film is amazing, beautiful and funny and eerie at times, a perfect combination. I cannot stop listening to it especially the delightful Johanna reprise, it is so heartbreaking. Buy it you wont be able to turn it off i guarantee!
