I saw it tonight.
I was both impressed and disappointed. The singing was better than expected, and the overall stage presence of Carter and Depp was extremely strong. It's difficult when you have a murderer, a woman who makes corpses into pies, a beggar, a judge that knowingly wrongly convicts people and sentences them to death, etc to find someone to sypathize with, but the whole cast does a great job of really making you feel what they feel.
I was completely disappointed that THEY CUT "ATTEND THE TALE OF SWEENEY TODD". WTFWTFWTF??? That's like when they cut the 3rd verse of "The Phantom of the Opera" in the movie version, except worse. How do you totally cut the title song??
I was also a bit disappointed at how gorey they let it get. A little fake blood for effect is great - a gushing river of katsup is overboard.
