Some days you put on the Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street on and just vibe with the serial killer and his need for revenge.

Beetle House LA is in no way associated with Tim Burton or the companies that produce his films. But the owners over at this Tim Burton themed bar definitely know how to pay tribute to him.  If you are a fan of movies like Sweeney Todd, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Corpse Bride, then this is definitely the place for you. The restaurant is decorated with fan art from many of Tim Burton’s films, while the main feel of the place centers around the movies Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a spooky and elegant purple lit staircase and a sign that says “Come as you are…” that leads you into the bar area. The bar area has the main display of props and art displays. There is comfortable lounging areas for guests to enjoy their drinks. Drinks are cleverly named after Tim Burton films.  You have your choice of drinks like The Beetles juice, Edward’s lemonade, Big Fish Bowl (Super Yummy), This is Halloween and more. As soon as we arrived in the bar area we saw a Jack Skellington and a Sally walking around greeting guests and posing for photos. Many of the guests themselves were seen wearing costumes. Seeing people dressed in Halloween themed costumes added to the ambiance.  Dinner seating is by reservation only. At dinner you are not only treated to a themed menu of food and drinks. But you also get a show with dinner. On this particular night we were treated to a freak show that included fire dancers, sword swallowers and even a bearded lady! Themed characters such as Willy Wonka and cast from the freak show also come by to visit table to table. Pricing for dinner starts at about $40 a person and includes an appetizer, main course and dessert.  Signature cocktails start at about $12 each. Well worth the experience.  This fun idea for a bar originates in New York City and has now opened a second location on Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles. The bar is located across the street from Scum and Villainy Cantina (A Star Wars themed Bar). Which could make for a very geeky night out.

Haha my friends watched Sweeney Todd the other night and challenged each other to a “Sweeney-off”(draw Sweeney Todd in one hour). I butted my way in and joined them in the drawing fun - been a long time since I saw that movie but I LOVED it when it came out! :D

Sweeney Todd- 2007

Ahhh THIS one. This is the song that really got me into theatrical patter songs (a patter song is one that goes very fast; examples include “Modern Major General” from Pirates of Penzance and “Your Fault” from Into the Woods.) I think the patter, soprano role, quartet and romanticness of this song just makes it my absolute favorite. Such a pity they cut this from the movie. I actually went to an audition for a production of Into the Woods last week and auditioned with Kiss Me part 2. I solo’d it only singing Johanna’s part. Basically Anthony is trying to get Johanna to elope with him while she continuously interrupts him due to her paranoia kicking in. Everyone who loves Sweeney needs to listen to this before they say they love Sweeney.

I don't know if you fancy Sweeney Todd but because you know about costumes I wanted to know if you can make a photoset (or direct me to some) of Johanna's costumes throughout the show?

Gotta pass on that Sweeney Tood torch, I’m afraid. I love Sweeney Tood, but I’ve never really looked closer at any of the costumes in either versions. Anyone with some good pointers here?
