Here after seeing Annaleigh in Sweeney previews last week. I know this is going to be hard for anyone to believe but IMO she surpasses both Lansbury and Lupone. Simply outstanding, a masterclass in physical comedy and timing

[@RW-gp1dq]

Lucky! Lucky! I believe it! She is stupendous!

[@nellielannister3142]

She was absolutely amazing, I went to the show thinking no one could top Langsbury or Bonham Carter but she smashed that

[@extrmfishin]

Best Mrs. Lovett ever!!!❤❤❤

[@zenobiaookpik]

I totally agree!

[@jamescottone9882]

I absolutely agree

[@maribeld84]

I just saw her in Sweeny this past weekend and she was amazing!!! One of the best shows I've seen

[@iAncientOne]

I love her. She was my Glinda in Wicked on Broadway. Just amazing!

[@lionspokeshop]

I saw it opening week. She was amazing! The whole cast was but she brings this dark humor to the part.

[@christophermatthew3925]

She needed to call Corden for that accent advice she talked about. On the album I can't tell if she's going for Cockney, Transylvanian or what? It kind of spoils what otherwise was a brilliant revival.

[@ERESMIFANNUMERO1]

I saw Sweeney Todd with Annaleigh and Sutton and I firmly believe my Mrs. Lovett is Annaleigh; accent, signing and all.

[@TES19]

Full of sense of humor 😄

[@phillylilmermaid7802]

I have tickets to see AnnaLeigh in Sweeney and I'm so excited.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Congrats and have fun. I've watched the movie version with Johnny Depp in the title role and I loved it.

[@cassidykelly7742]

ME TOO!! I got tickets to see the show on my birthday

[@lizmillinor8681]

[@ericminch]

Disappointment. Annaleigh had on the Chippendales outfit, but then didn't show us her pecs.

[@macbrady7002]

I haven't watched TV in 10 years....I don't miss it. Wtf even is this? So cringe

[@XxAramisxX]

And yet, you’re on TH-cam? Come out of the basement once in a while.

[@macbrady7002]

@@XxAramisxX ...not really sure wtf that means or what you are even trying to say? I guess the mentally ill have taken over TH-cam as well huh...sad
