Listen to the Music?

As excited as I am for the upcoming film version of Sweeney Todd - with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp on board, it’s hard to resist - I can’t help but be a little disappointed that the trailer includes almost no music. The backbone of the show - indeed, the reason it is so brilliantly dark - is the music of Stephen Sondheim. Clearly, this December will be filled with Sondheim’s devilishly good lyrics, but it’s such a tease not to include more of it in the trailer.
