Jenn - 

​Musicals. I guess we all have our different opinions on them, but I love them and this movie/musical is no exception. "Sweeney Todd" is a musical but it’s also dark, so maybe those who don’t like normal musicals would love and enjoy this one. Johnny Depp plays this demon barber of Fleet Street though he didn’t start off that way. I won’t go into his background because of spoilers, but you really understand why he does everything that he does. He teams up with Mrs. Lovett played by Helena Bonham Carter, another one of my favorite actors who plays one of my favorite characters. What can I say? If you know me I happen to love the misunderstood, different characters more than the popular ones. Mrs. Lovett owns a pie shop that’s not doing so well until Sweeney Todd happens by her shop. They come up with a not-so-great plan to get meat for her pies. Again, spoilers for those who have happened to never have seen it, so I’ll stop there. If you’re looking for something different this is definitely that. So check it out if you haven’t, even if you don’t like musicals check it out because I think you might be presently surprised.

The Code Word For This Article Is Lovett​

Dave's Fun Facts!

Dave's fun fact #1 This movie has enough Harry Potter actors to almost be a spin-off/sequel! 5 to be exact, if you count Fastastic Beasts as an HP universe movie. Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Alan Rickman (Snape), Timothy Spall (Wormtail), Jamie Campbell Bower (young Grindewald), and Johnny Depp (Grindelwald in Fastastic Beasts).

Dave's fun fact #2 A visual. Dee Snider covered "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" on his CD of Broadway cover songs. (Melanie's Fun Fact About Dave's Fun Fact - This was completely omitted from the movie version because Tim Burton said that for the movie no intro explaining it was necessary when you are about to watch the story unfold lol.)
