Just watched Tim Burton’s excellent retelling of Steven Sondheim’s excellent musical retelling of the tale of Sweeney Todd.
Love the musical but we’ve been toying with yet another retelling… featuring the music of Stephen Sondheim and the inimitable stars of Warner Bros. Here’s our cast list – this won’t be remotely interesting unless you know the musical, but if you do… whaddya reckon?
Sweeney Todd – Elmer Fudd (…’these are my fwends…’)
Mrs Lovett – Bugs in drag (ain’t I a stinker)
Judge Turpin – Porky Pig (‘p-p-p-pretty women…’)
Toby – Sylvester (‘nothing’th gonna harm you, no thir, not while I’m around…’)
Johanna and Anthony – Pepe le Pieu and Tweety Pie (‘green finch and linnet bird…’)
Pirelli – Daffy Duck
Well, it may not be getting any writing done but at least it’s entertaining my brain while I’m still finishing the unpacking!!
