LOL They say that those who are trained in singing can never truly enjoy a musical/opera the same way others do because they're so attuned to analyzing and criticizing what they hear. I know that's true for me! (Partially why I'm SO pleased that trained singers were not used [mostly] in the Sweeney Todd movie!) Anyway, in 2001 Patti Lupone played Mrs. Lovett in a concert production of Sweeney Todd in San Francisco. I found it on YouTube. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=014A71FBEBCF0BAC The woman who plays Johanna here also played Christine in the first production of Phantom of the Opera that I ever saw when I was 11 years old, which inspired me to sing ^_^
