What is the song you have chosen to perform?: I've decided to choose the song 'Johanna' from the movie Sweeney Todd.
Why did you choose this material?: I've always liked Sweeney Todd and I love romance stories so I thought it would be a cool song to sing, plus I like that scene.
Who wrote and performed the piece?: Stephen Sondheim wrote the song and Jamie Cambell Bower sang it.
What is the song about?: About this boy that fell in love with this beautiful blonde girl from the apartment building, and he sings about stealing her from the Judge that's keeping her away from people.
What is happening in the story at the time of your piece?: This teenage boy is attracted by this beautiful blonde yellow-haired girl named Johanna who lives in a very high building with this evil guy named 'Judge Turpin', he spots this girl from a window from her bedroom and wants to talk to her and hang out with her. He slowly finds out that Judge Turpin locked her in the room to keep her away from the world so every day Anthony walks past the building, trying to figure out ways to save her and steal her from the judge.
What will be challenging about your piece: I have to sing from low to high in some bits because sometimes I sing lower to his level ( because I'm playing a guy, and I'm not a guy in real life so I don't have that much of a deep voice). Another challenge would have to be to keep practising to get it right but that's okay , I know I'll get there in the end :)
