Helena Bonham carter-http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=6mdOPMDv9c8

So whos the best?

i personally think patti lupones take on it was brilliant angelas little priest was better than patti lupones and helena bonham carters take on little preist was better than all of them but her worst pies in london wasnt too good.

I prefer Patti's "Worst Pies...", but not as it was performed in that concert. More like this:

There is also this bit from the London National Theatre Cast with Julia McKenzie: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=VXg5tut9LXo

And let us not forget this rendition: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=uPSL5FPTn9A

Its either McKenzie or...


Ah, who am I kidding, Lansbury's it, but I like Julia as well.

[Sweeney Hyde]

I like Lansbury's the best...I read somewhere were she was talking about hearing the song the first time...Sondheim had already written "By the Sea"...so when he came in and said to her something along the lines of "Angie...I've got an ever better one for you now!"...she was excited like nothing else. Then...while he was playing it...he was doing all the motions and "Frailing about madly" and had them all in stitches.

I also like Julia's and Patti's though.

I think I like Patti's Worst Pies better in the revival than either concert version she was recorded in.

[theatre4life]

Ill always prefer Angela over all. i dont really care for what Im hearing of the film's songs - they sound so boring. but, still good, i guess.

when i first saw the show before knowing a thing about it, there was a wonderful mrs lovett (even though it was community theatre) and sweeney. the cast was fabulous and it was a very well-done production.

i dont like patti lupone and cant stand her mrs lovett. she tries too hard and her mouth is HUGE. i keep thinking she's gonna eat the audience!

[ickle2]

nah theres something bout angelas voice that anoys me its slightly whiny pattis on stage performance was very funny she put a lot of energy into it plus i think she has a way better voice than angelas

Sorry text speak lol

[postmodern-mango-salsa]

My vote, shockingly, goes to HBC, purely based on the fact that she COMPLETELY changes her voice when she says "Ick, what is that?" and "no you don't"

runner up would be McKenzie tied with Lupone.

Angela's voice just grates on my nerves too much, and her breathing is terrible. I mean, yeah, it's supposed to be, but that's no excuse for making it sound like you can't handle it.

[ickle2]

Yes i noticed that in a clip i saw HBC ick sounded to me quite low lol.Is it supposed to change like that? also in worst pies in London her voice goes a bit high and i dont think she can hold them notes without going a bit cracky.

[Xack]

I sometimes accidentally refer to Ms. Lovett as Ms. Lansbury. I think we all know where my vote goes.

goofy! lol hmm i dont thin kshes suposed to be goofy, a slightly off edge sort of person hmmm maybe goofy is the word i dunno she seems to me like an slightly maniacish character st is slightly sane tho lol.hes more sane than nl.

*watches McKenzie's performance* Wow...Mrs. Lovett's a boozer...and a really dirty boozer at that. She looks like she just rolled out of her own oven...that's actually kinda funny!

Yeah, I can't really say whose my favourite, but I really do like McKenzie's take on the part. As much as I love Angela Lansbury, I prefer the blatantly cold and vicious Lovetts to the silly ones. Unlike the comment 3 posts above me, I don't take the silliness to be a front. Instead I see it as the way she really is, which isn't my preference for Lovett. Or more so, I think Lansbury was too silly. There wasn't enough evil in her...but that's just my opinion, so please don't shoot me for it.

[Salome]

Lansbury hands down. Beth Fowler was no slouch at it either though.

What about the incredible Dorothy Loudon?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lpjdEUWyFHg

Here is my list:

1. Angela Lansbury
2. Dorothy Loudon
3. Julia McKenzie

Lupone was awful.

[Mistress]

Louden is quite amusing actually...sorta like a slightly drunk Angela Lansbury...all comedy and hilarity.

[Christine_Magdalene_Peron]

[Quique]
