Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street In Concert (2001) - Worst Pies In London 

her timing is phenomenal

"Mrs moony has a pie shop" god that sass XD

Patti is just phenomenal her vocal ability and timing are incredible.

One of the hardest musical songs to sing ..the diction..phasing and timing.. her range from head voice.. to falsetto.. to full chest voice is incredible... a total professional. The great tony winning Patti Lupone

IS THAT JUST DISGUSTING

This is the best performance of "The Worst Pies in London" I've heard!! Patti LuPone is a true icon

The way she says “mrs Mooney has a pie shop” always makes me laugh

Cats in pies? Disgusting! Look at that priest tho

I like how when she said 'a woman alone' she stared at him from head to toe

I really preferred this look/energy over when she took it to Broadway - with the black bob and Gothic fashion.

ugh! that orchestra is so beautiful!

She immediatly knew it was Benjamin, that's why she said she thought he was a ghost. Not because she hadn't had a customer for weeks.

I absolutely love George Hearn sitting there watching her in stunned silence, looking at her like, "What the actual fuck is this mad woman?" His face alone is enough to send me into a fit of giggles! 🤣 I also love the line, "And I'm telling you that pussycats is quick!" because it's Mrs. Lovett basically confessing that she has tried catching cats to bake into pies, but with no success. Everything about this song, and this scene is just brilliant! This is what you get when you have talented people bring Sondheim's words to life! (Take not Helena, Johnny and Tim! 😏)

The manic energy is strong but what a big mood

Goddamn Sondheim was brutal making this song 😅

I was at this performance, it was the San Francisco Symphony 2001. Neil Patrick Harris was also in the cast. Stephen Sondheim was in the audience and came up on stage at the end to Congratulate the cast. He seemed to really enjoy it. ❤️ the whole performance is available here on RU-vid. It’s really good.

I just realized after like 4 years of watching this... she pauses after 'Tastes like' because she doesn't bother to taste test them herself anymore lol 2:14

If u wanted to sing along to this version, here are the lyrics! A customer! Wait! What's your rush? What's your hurry? You gave me such a... fright! I thought you was a ghost! Half a minute, can't ya sit? Sit ya down! Sit! All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks. Did ya come here for a pie, sir? Do forgive me if my head's a little vague. Ugh! What is that? But you'd think we had the plague. From the way that people keep avoiding! No you don't! Heaven knows I try, sir! But there's no one comes in even to inhale! Right you are, sir, would you like a drop of ale? Mind you I can hardly blame them! These are probably the worst pies in London. I know why nobody cares to take them! I should know! I make them! But good? No The worst pies in London Even that's polite! The worst pies in London! If you doubt it take a bite! Ugh! Is that just, disgusting? You have to concede it! It's nothing but crusting! Here drink this, you'll need it. The worst pies in London And no wonder with the price of meat what it is when you get it. Never thought I'd live to see the day. Men'd think it was a treat findin' poor animals what are dyin' in the street. Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop. Does a business, but I notice something weird. Lately, all her neighbors cats have disappeared. Have to hand it to her! What I calls, enterprise! Poppin' pussies into pies! Wouldn't do in my shop! Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick! And I'm telling you them pussycats is quick. No denying times is hard, sir! Even harder than the worst pies in London. Only lard and nothing more- Is that just revolting? All greasy and gritty? It looks like it's molting! And tastes like...we'll pity. A woman alone...with limited wind And the worst pies in London! Ah, sir Times is hard. Times is hard. Isn't that a room up there? Over the shop?

Patti is so easy to understand---enunciation matters. it makes the experience much more enjoyable! My favorite version.

She,in my opinion,was the best in this part. Her expressions,her voice...just perfect 😍

Oh my golly. What a spectacular powerful voice. She's a great musical actress. I can't wait to watch Miss Lea Salonga's version on the "Sweeney Todd" here in the Philippines this coming October 2019. 😊.

A singing acting and all around phenomenon - Miss Patti LuPone. Johnxxx

Wow, she really is great. Tbh, I heard so many good things about her performance, I kind of expected to be underwhelmed. Like, you know, it couldn't _possibley_ live up to the hype. But, she's great.... Really, really, great.

Lupone and Lansbury are the best Mrs Lovettes I've ever seen. They're completely different and its SOOO good.

This is my favorite rendition of the song.

IT LoOKS LiKE ItS mOLTInG

SHES SO GOOD

"and it looks like..." *sweeney makes a face* "well pItTyy"

This should have more views!!! She's absolutely amazing!

Yellow diamond ?!!!! Omg she is so talented and a great actress...

Patti Lupone is a National Treasure! Funny, beautiful, talented and brilliant!☮️♥️🕉🎶

_mRs. mOoNy HaS a PiiIIiIiiE sHoP_

This is the best worst pies in London!

2:21

George Hearn's such an amazing actor, singer and a really friendly guy.

this is my introduction to patti lupone and i see why she's a theatre legend

Patti LuPone can outperform anyone. She's just so incredibly larger than life in all ways

best version

THIS IS ABSOLUTLY AMAZING

Patti Lupone is my FAVORITE Mrs. Lovett. This is my favorite Sweeney Todd performance overall hands down.

The fact that this actress makes this song showcase Mrs. Lovett’s entire personality. Amazing

Woah this quality is exceptional

Damn that voice is BIG

Mrs Lovett: with limited wind Also Mrs Lovett: *down by the sea*

Sondheim gives the hardest songs to women

Helena is great ! Patti is great the difference is she sang it Live

Wish I could see a clip with the first line following the end of the song: "Spit it out dear. There's worse things than that down there."

This song is low key hard

this is the best ive ever heard from her!

best performance ever

I’ve always loved this song because she’s marketing her pies as the worst pies in London like she doesn’t need the business

deep breathe *WIIIIIIIIIIIITH LIIIIMIIIITEEEEED WIIIIIIIIIIIND*

2:18 This line always destroys me 🤣

I prefer Lansbury and Cariou, to be honest. They were amazing. I listen to the soundtrack on Spotify.

Why tf did the 2006 revival director tell her to tone down her comedic performance?! This is so much better

Dont laugh at me but I love SU and Sweeney Todd and it took me until yesterday to realize that she voiced Yellow Diamond. It just never clicked which is a shame given how often I watch this exact video

Great Version. Diffrent from that of Helena Bonham Carter but very great :)

I love how she ends the oooooo sir with the Porti. It had something extra.

(hack) yellowdiamondwithabritishaccent (hack) Also “Here, drink this-PFFT-you’ll need it!”

A customer! Wait! What's your rush? What's your hurry? You gave me such a... fright! I thought you was a ghost! Half a minute, can't ya sit? Sit ya down! Sit!

I just really wanna hear her sing "part of your world"

Patti Talentful Lupone. I’ll take her Evita over Madonna any day

And she still hasn’t played Madame morrible!!

Goddam she's really belting out those notes.

Great Patti!

Love you Patti!!! 😍

My brother is in no way shape or form a musical theater fan. But not only did he love Sweeney Todd, he actually said this was his favorite song

She did the most incredible opera Version 🙂 her voice is so clear

She's my favorite Mrs Lovett, I put her above Lansbury and Bonham Carter

Well pity a woman 😢 alone 🤭😏

Sad that Tim Burton just cast his wife and jonny deep... Imagine these two in a movie

This is the first time I’ve seen here since coven ahs the neighbor

A woman alooooone ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Patti Lupone is a Broadway icon!

0:10 ❤

she's brilliant

wow... that was great!

Mrs Mooney put her whole what into that pie???

Why the fuck is Yellow Diamond selling pies?

Only issue is her accent, but I don’t suppose it’s an easy accent to immitate if you ain’t native to the area

My ears !!!!!!

AHHHMAZING!

Is it just me or does the playback speed to this seem a little too fast? Like the movements don't look natural.

The accent is a bit odd? Like there’s parts that just don’t sound right

Nice Song!

I adore Patti Lupone. All the way back to Evita. She has a great voice and is a marvelously talented actress. She and George Hearn must have made a realyl good revival of Sweeney Todd.. vi

Crikey, the accent is all over the place Great version nonetheless

I'd still buy a pie from her! .^_^.

Just wow!!

Is THat jUsT DiSGuStInG?

Good Cockney accent! Helen Bonham Carter sings this and with her upper class accent this must have been difficult - and she'd not known for being a singer.

IT IS YELLOW DIAMOND

The best Mrs Lovett!

You have to keep to the exact tempo, play without overacting, find the right metre for the entire text - only a handful of singers can do all this today. And none like Patti Lupone.

I dated a very sweet girl who was in a production of Sweeny Todd. She showed me the production with Angela Lansbury. She was good, but I prefer Patti Lupone.

1:30 -2:48

Love Patty

❤️❤️

Is it just me, or is George Hearn VERY SHORT?😅

Yellow diamond🙂💎💛
