Question:I haven't seen the movie....I just had to write something though, because I'm basically an obsessed fan of the show. I've heard a lot of clips. Dear God, Johnny Depp and the rest of the cast may be good actors, but they cannot sing well at all. Maybe they would sing well in another genre or show, but Sondheim is not easy and it shows....They also changed a lot of things. Toby appears to be around ten, Johanna has a Irish accent {how she accquired that I have no idea}, and Anthony is a little, um, femine....
