Most likely due to not having any of that ghoulish makeup on that he wore in play for this commercial.

oh god i just cant stop to watch this commercial again and again and again this is so classic and genius

The Len Cariou commercial is up now, and it's great! Also missing from the film in the song, "God, That's Good" is the explosive choral line, "MORE HOT PIES!"

Lansbury and Hearn will be the best Mrs. Lovett and Todd ever! love them

Well it does say in the opening ballad "Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd, his skin was pale and his eye was odd" :D

in my opinion, angela lansbury really is the star in the show. like they actually intended it to be like that in writing... back in the old OLD days.

Well, Sondheim did write the part for her, essentially.

Looks like he throws his drink because he's drunk and carefree, and she throws it because he did. That would definitely be a Mrs. Lovett-y thing to do.

This commercial was HILARIOUS! Just the part when they randomly toss their pints of drinks. What was that supposed to signify? The way Angela hesitates before tossing hers, it seems like there was only one shot of it and they went with it (with George leading the way, of course).

I remember seeing a promo poster for RKO studios in the 80's at a local McDonald's and a promo pic from this show was featured on that poster.

But he wrote it FOR her! She was his inspiration for the character!

there's one thing very different, if you listen carefully, you can hear talented people singing it. oh yeah! I went there!!

Angela Lansbury is the BEST mrs Lovett everrrrrrrr :)))

This is lovely, I'm adding it to my Halloween playlist!

George looks a lot different in this commercial than he did in the televised production.

I LOVE her hair! It's so cute!

The hilarity of the commercials belies the intensity of the story. The musical's message is a two fold criticism of how very easily those seeking social justice can use any argument to justify violence, even when the oppressor is clearly evil.

I have to agree. Tim made a totally different version, and that's okay. Johnny and Helena were great for Tim's version. That being said, I prefer the Hearn/Lansbury or LuPone version.

I love that song

Angela Lansbury

RIP you legend

that's why it says george hearn in the commercial.

i remember this from when i was a kid. Angela Landsbury and George Hearn are the perfect pair for me I saw Landsbury and Cariou and it was good (the only version I have seen, which keeps the tooth pulling scene9 but i swear nothing compares to Landsbury and Hearn. I am not a fan of Paige or Lupone in the role and the film version cuts too much, even though it is visually stunning. Hell i think Sweeney Todd would be a hell of a part to play!

Angela Lansbury is awsome

No. I mean, it’s kind of hard to compare them properly since with George we have the 1982 filmed tour and the 2001 concert to go off of, while the only performance footage we have of Len is a bootleg of the original show filmed with a camera from the 70’s. He’s in the cast recording CD, but that’s not the same as seeing him actually perform.

It’s a commercial for the tour which starred the two of them. Dorothy London joined the Broadway production as Mrs. Lovett when George Hearn joined as Sweeney.

He also toured in Sweeney with her in '82. Or at least she came to the tour temporarily to film the show for PBS. Not sure if she actually did the tour or just came to film it.

no no.. that was the sound of george hearn, and his facial expression i remember that maybe the make up made hearn's face looked different

Lansbury. + Hearn is the best combo. Followed by LuPone + Hearn, and then Cariou + Lansbury. Poop on Depp + Carter

That's George. No doubt about it. I know his voice. Him and Len haev very different voices and I could very easily tell them apart.

The part was specifically written for Angela Lansbury!

Yah. If you remember the ballad: "His skin was pale and his eye was odd."

It is NOT Len Cariou. They used different make-up in the tour version, which is why it looks different.

George took over in March 1980. So, about a year.

great great commercial!

IT'S SCARY!! *hides from George*

He looks like a cast-away from the Old Addam's Family shows... Very Creepy to see him just Black & White & Lovett all color

Odd seeing that Sweeny (George Hearn) wasn't wearing his pale flesh makeup with the black hollowed areas.

the movie Sweeney Todd is based on this play

0:04 I LOVE ANGELA'S FACE THERE.

that is DEFINITELY george, people. gosh. different make-up.

holy crap sweeney looks like a vampire O_O

Hm..Looking at it closer, I think this is a different wig than used when they filmed it. It shows off more of his face. You can see a lot more of his forehead. That and it doesn't do the whole "demon" thing where it flares out on the sides. I kind of does, but not as much. This also may have been before they filmed it, so he may appear younger.

Hearn is much less ugly in this commercial. I wish they would have done his makeup the same they did for the musical itself.

hello, im Free411 and im a sweeney todd fan too :)

Can u mention some of them? I love Angela and her character! :D

HAHAHAHAHA!! A HANDLE!! SO TRUE!!

I went and saw that in broadway :)

It was George, just in different make-up.

This looks more like a Dunkin Donuts commercial from the 80's. Except it's advertising meat pies! ROFL!!

Cool Commercial!

I'm almost sure this was before they filmed it. Also, why would they say the name George if it wasn't George?

Hahaha, Awesome! :D

Well, it kinda looks like him, he does similar facial expressions. Plus, keep in mind that this is a little older than the recorded one, and it is an older version of the make up.

Setherract while I see your point( I like your point with the makeup) I see more value in a more subtler Todd until Epiphany. It makes the idea of people continually coming to him afterwards make more sense, and is one of the reasons I prefer Hearn to Cariou in the role. With Cariou, (audibility mind you) he seems ready to snap at any time, but with Hearn, there’s a sense of somewhat collectedness, and makes epiphany seem more like an “epiphany” than him just finally crackling

Setherract except Toby gets to see what happened to his loved one first hand, and while Todd probably always had the intention of killing Turpin and the Beatle, he never got to see what happened first hand to Lucy. But indeed, they’re very much alike. The both want to protect their loved ones( though with Todd, it’s more of a memory), both do what they do for women in their life, and both kill when they find out something has happened to said loved ones.

I totally agree with you... why was that. Perhaps this song needed to have more humor in the movie. It really missed the boat whereas the rest of the movie was pretty good. I liked Johnny Depps singing.

I think that gesture is to signify the carefree, randomness of what they've decided to do... just kill whoever & "whatever." Even though Mrs. Lovett gets the idea going in the first place, she very much wants to follow his lead because she adores him... therefore he toses the drink first. The film version lost the fun irony of this song.

George Hearn looks really creepy!

yeah thats what i thought

If it hadn't been for HER, Helena Bonham Carter would never have played Mrs Lovett at all! Don't diss her!

iv never agreed with anybody more in my LIFE

Why does it seem that Angela Lansbury has the lead role? ot saying she wasn't an important character or she isn't a good actress, i just thought Whoever would Play Sweeney would be the more main character than Lovette

its Len Cariou

That was Len Cariou

i know johnny has an amazing voice when did i say he didnt?
