Sweeney Todd with Angela Lansbury?

I like (and saw) all three. I though Angela L's original sort of dotty old music hall Lovett was great fun - good contrast for when things turn ugly. And she *did* create the role. I liked the LuPone revival, but missed the show having some size to it. Still liked her and it though. And I thought the movie was great. Although I loved what she did with it and appreciated the depth, I wished for a little more power on the big notes from Bonham Carter - like on "mind you, I can hard-LY BLAME them."
