Photo Shoot Fun on the Set of Sweeney Todd

The Back Story:
It was a long photo shoot for Sweeney Todd
and there was a lull in the action.
Patrick Bello invited a few cast & crew to join him on the chaise.
Luckily the Bloginator was there...

















You gotta love photo shoots.

If you want to see the REAL gallery of 
Sweeney Todd
