A Note on Spoilers
Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd won't be in theatres worldwide until February, and I know some people are waiting for the DVD. Considering this was the first musical I saw without knowing what was going to happen (beyond murder, murder, tra-la-la, let's make pies!), I wouldn't want to take that experience away from anyone else. Feel free to let me know if you'd like to avoid spoilers for the film, and I'll find a way to clearly mark threads that wander into spoiler territory.
The stage musical has been around since 1979, true, but the ending of the film is very slightly different.
