I ought to know more about this but it hasn’t hit Greece yet. I’m assuming it’s Sondheim’s Sweeny Todd? I’ve seen the Angela version on video years ago and also caught a British version at the National with Julia McKenzie and Dennis Quilley – fab. The last time I saw the show Jason Donovan was singing Sweeney – sort of. You need to have a big voice to carry of either part. So who is taking the lead in this new version? Am I right, Johnny Depp? Or is that a myth?

Meanwhile: my favourite line from Bedknobs and broomsticks: “what’s that got to do with my knob?”

I’m looking forward to finding the Sweeny DVD when it’s available.
