can't wait
some parts seemed kinda slow and weird but Johnny always makes up for that kinda stuff. He's great at supporting other peoples bad acting on his shoulders.
Can't wait to see this on screen. I have heard about this musical through out the years, & seen snippet's of it on PBS W./Angela Lansbury in the Mrs. Lovett role. My roomate actually did see this on Broadway W./Angela Lansbury, which is cool! This is on my "Must See" list!
