A couple days before Christmas, Baby Brother and I both got eaten alive by some member of the insect world. We both became reliant on Burt's Bees Res-Q Ointment. It's good stuff.

Listen to Johnny sing. Watch Johnny smolder. See Johnny covered in arterial spray. For a surprisingly humourous musical from the delightfullly twisted minds of Stephen Sondheim and Tim Burton, experience Sweeney Todd.
