Sweeney Todd (2007) with Luke Crichton

The film adaptation of Sweeney Todd was released in 2007, directed by Tim Burton. Sondheim loved it, but it has divided fans ever since it came out. Luke Crichton returns to discuss Sweeney Todd in film generally, this movie specifically, and wonder whether it will ever be adapted again. The song I used at the end is called "Waves" from the album Atoms: https://youtu.be/QoCtqIreX-wVisit Luke Crichton's website here: https://www.crichtonmusic.co.ukYou can also follow him on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MusicCrichtonOr on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crichtonmusic/You can purchase Stephen Sondheim's first book of lyrics, Finishing the Hat, by going here: https://amzn.to/2LB9ZJoWe are using three productions to frame our discussion of Sweeney Todd.The Original Broadway Cast (1979) starring Angela Lansbury, Len Cariou, and Victor Garber.You can listen to it on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/ca/album/sweeney-todd-the-demon-barber-of-fleet-street/1086882395Or listen to it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2q6InM859RCsSQOjHWNHk2?si=Yn1oBG-bRASlNC_UPIUEAwOr buy it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sweeney-Todd-Original-Broadway-Recording/dp/B01C6YV96Q/The Broadway revival (2005) starring Patti LuPone, Michael Cerveris, and Alexander Gemignani.You can listen to it on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/ca/album/sweeney-todd-the-demon-barber-of-fleet-street/118106545Or listen to it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1kA4RO70idrEQkOX3zlRfa?si=5MO05RHdRpSwqWDYCtMnNwOr buy it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sweeney-Todd-Stephen-Sondheim/dp/B0012ELMK0/The film version (2007) starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Alan Rickman.You can listen to it on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/ca/album/sweeney-todd-the-demon-barber-of-fleet-street/269842191Or listen to it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5cQlLa7mNMZuOrLLRFr43y?si=x8vtz8OPRFS2rgfhd3I8PQOr buy it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sweeney-Barber-Street-Picture-Soundtrack/dp/B0011ZWOPM/Our sponsors this week are:Alberta Blue Cross - Alberta Blue Cross group benefit plans are easy to manage, anywhere, anytime and on any device, making it easy for you and your employees to access.Edmonton Community Foundation - https://www.ecfoundation.org - ECF connects you to the resources you need.
