Okay so in her defense, the weird accent she uses really works for how freaking weird she makes the character. As someone who studies dialects I thought I was going to cringe through her accent the whole show but by the end it just felt like a quirk of her personality and I fully bought into it. Like, whatever it is, she commits to it fully and that made it work for me.
@@erickgonzalez408I played it at 1.25x speed and it sounded better. Though her movements became jumpy. It's crazy how Helena Bonham Carter had a better performance.
Looking at other recordings it seems like it's usually normal speed, this matches with a clip I saw as part of the Tony awards so maybe it's just part of a showcase performance for that? It is weird that it's slowed, good news is that it's probably not in the actual show
The first part is about 90 bpm in this clip, as sung by Annaleigh Ashford. In the Tim Burton film, it's also about 90 bpm. The 2012 London production is also about 90 bpm, as sung by Imelda Staunton (and lauded by Sondheim himself). The outlier seems to be the OBC recording which is faster, about 100 bpm, as sung by Angela Lansbury.
I thought it was going to be the same way when I went and saw the show, but I think that it's just because this was for promotional. Her performance was amazing. She truly was one of the best parts of the show because her singing and acting was fantastic, plus her comedic timing just made her such a funny Mrs. Lovett.
@muskratrepairservices7701 this doesn't seem like a great video for her but I just went to see the show on Sunday and she was incredible. This musical is basically about her at this point. She stole every single scene she was in. And her comedic timing was perfect.
This has to just be a weird vibe for the camera in the promo shoot. I don't doubt she's phenomenal. Especially after seeing her as Dot in Sunday. Id trust her with any Sondheim. (Would love to see her as the bakers wife in Into the Woods.)
her voice is amazing
Bruh ive been looking everywhere for clips of the most recent Sweeny Todd since i cant fly to New York to watch the performance
same lol
Love how Todd at first is like: “Nope!”
Saw it last night and she absolutely killed it. Stole the show.
Agreed she totally overshadowed him in the best way❤
Same here, she was amazing.
OMG her gesticulations are perfect. Wiping the dead bugs on Todd's sleeve. Holy shit, lol.
Just saw it today and it’s incredible
Just saw this and it was phenomenal.
i love her so much
This one was great. 😮😂❤
Ahhh it needs more love
More more more
You gave me such a FROAU!
Phenomenal performances all around. Joe Locked was amazing as Toby
That's who I'm being for Halloween. Mrs. Lovett.
I'm gonna be Sweeney for Halloween
I want to see the whole thing
Gosh why everyone so mean in the comments :D
I thought it was fun. Everyone brings something different.
lois griffin if she was going for a british accent lol
Oh please come on tour with you as the lead
Very slow indeed
Olyan aranyosak,❤️❤️🥰🥰
What is she saying?
Aren’t they supposed to be middle aged? They look like they’re in their early 20s here LOL
Oof, what accent is she going for?
😂
Exactly

Horrendous
It's slowed
I’m just assuming. Maybe to make it easier for her to sing so she had more time to take breaths? Maybe
It’s not slowed 😢 she impressed the complexity of the song with her feeling ❤

Woof. My favorite play. This looks forced af. Thank god i saw that disco themed david byrne production about a dictatorship in the Phillipines instead

Awesome! That’s great to hear, glad you had a good time

I saw the saw back in May and she was fantastic. Her chemistry with Groban is so good. They probably are my favorite Sweeney and Lovett

How is everyone ignoring the awful accent?!
You know I thought I was the only one haha.
It's alright it just makes her seem more crazy :D
The tempo is too slow and there's no gusto.
Someone else just pointed out its the same tempo as the original, and he's right. About 88. I think it's how she draws out the notes.
Saw it tonight and she was just awful. If you saw this and thought it looked bad -- its ten times worse live
I really want to watch the full show, I love her so much 😭
