Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd
*gulp*
Angela Lansbury... Patti LuPone... Helena Bonham Carter. (Which one of these is not like the other?)

Well Helena gets most of her jobs from her husband.
That's actually not true... it's only lately that Burton has started putting her in everything he does (though I don't know how long they've been together)...
And she's a very good actress (brilliant in Howard's End, for example... and I'm sure she's fantastic as Bellatrix LeStrange in the new Harry Potter, which I haven't gotten to see yet).
My issue is... Can she sing? And even if she can, Mrs Lovett is not exactly a role someone new to musicals should cut her teeth on.
oh, i betcha ms. carter can sing. i guess we'll see though.
I didn't remember being wowed by her voice in The Corpse Bride, but I didn't remember being wowed by *much* in The Corpse Bride. My issue is, can *Johnny Depp* sing?
