Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd?

Much as I love both Johnny Depp AND movie musicals, I worry about the upcoming film version of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”

Yes, Johnny can do almost any character on film, and fans like me will flock to see him. However, is his singing voice up to the quality required in this dark, disturbing production? I certainly hope so, but the previews are of little help in determining the answer to that burning question.

Too bad we have to wait until Christmas to find out. The suspense is excruciating for me!
