Because I'm obsessed with Sweeney...
Here's audio...that's right, just audio...of the Johanna quartet-turned-trio, apparently played and surreptitiously recorded last week.
Hat tip: The Tale of SapSorrow
Further hat tip: Alicia Teeter as always
So, Le Depp can carry a tune, and doesn't sound embarrassng or anything.
I'm still hot for this movie, how about you?

Young Frankenstein on the Today Show
Did anyone else see the three numbers from the new musical Young Frankenstein on the Today Show on Wednesday and think...meh?
I was only watching because our friend was a finalist in the cutest dog costume contest. Catching the sneak preview of Frankenstein was a bonus.
But the three numbers were all just gimmicky uptempos without much to distinguish them from a cheesy musical revue one might see written by some local aspiring composer.
I was left with no desire to see the show. And earlier this year when it was previewing in Seattle I actually thought of going up there to see it.
I like Sutton Foster; I like Roger Bart; I love the movie; and I thought the musical adaptation of The Producers was really well done.
Wednesday's performances left me cold.
Anyone else see it?
