MRS. LOVETT:
(spoken) 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'tcher sit!
Sit you down, sit!
All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks!
Did you come here for a pie, sir?
Do forgive me if me head's a little vague --
Ugh! What is that?
But you think we had the plague!
From the way that people
Keep avoiding --
No you don't!
Heaven knows I try, sir!
Ick!
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't hardly blame them!
These are probably the worst pies...

This is for anyone who plans on cosplaying from Sweeney Todd.
This particular costume breakdown is for the Demon Barber himself.

I have been cosplaying Sweeney Todd for 3 years now, and have put in a great deal of time researching and looking at pictures of the Sweeney Todd costume. So I thought I would share a bit of what I know.

First we will start out with general items, before I get into smaller details. As you will see in the picture next to this paragraph, you will notice some key items that Sweeney Todd has. If you are going to put together a Sweeney Todd costume, you should at least...

Anthony brings Johanna to Sweeney’s to hide her while he goes to get them a coach.

Unable to locate Sweeney in his room, Toby offers to show them down to the Bakehouse, where he last saw Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett. They go down the stairs, just in time to see Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett preparing to dispose of the bodies of the beggar woman, Judge Turpin, and Beadle.

Trying to stop them from running to the law, Sweeney shoves Toby into a corner, where he crumples and doesn’t get up. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lovett has attacked the unsuspecting Anthony, and has her hands around his throat.

Johanna leaps...

It's to the tune of what Depp sings in Johanna(Reprise), and Anthony is not in it. Or the crazy beggar woman. Hope you enjoy it xx


Yes, you are beautiful and pale,
with yellow hair,
like her.
I wanted you beautiful and pale,
with yellow hair,
and you were
Johanna

And you are beautiful, what then,
with yellow hair,
like wheat.
And we have met again,
My little dove,
My sweet,
Johanna

Hello, Johanna!
You're here, and again your mine!
I'm fine, Johanna!
I'm fine!

And now I shall hear your voice,
my turtle dove,
my dear,
I still have reason to rejoice,
The way ahead is clear
Johanna

I was in darkness,
I was blind, with...

First of all:
Enough of all this blaming judge Turpin on every single bad thing that ever happened!

The man has become something of the big bad wolf around here, the worlds biggest scapegoat!
I know, i know. He desired a pretty woman, used his authority to falsley imprisoned her husband to get him out of the way, and than assaulted her in a room fool of other rich people that found the whole thing to be a great big laugh.
I am not at all saying that what he did was not wrong, i'd be a complete fool to ever think such a thing, nor am i justifying his actions in any way, but just let me explain something....

I found this and thought it was insane!
Mrs. Lovett Improves Her Pies

Sweeney was a barber
In Fleet Street near the Strand
Cocksure was his nature
And Cockney was his brand.

Lovett was his neighbour,
A cook from Cubitt Town,
Sharing half a cellar,
They both sought high renown.

Sweeney Todd loved Lovett,
But loved her money more;
Planned a treat, did Lovett
For Sweeney, her amore.

Hair-cuts were a penny
And pies brought half a bob
Meat was too expensive,
But Sweeney'd do the job.

Lovett said to Sweeney,
'Why don't you cut their throats?
Drop them in our cellar,
We'll even sell their coats.'

Sweeney thought about...

Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can you remain
staring at the rain
maddened by the stars?
How is it you sing
anything?
How is it you sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing or merely aloaming?
Are you discussing?
Or fussing?
Or simply dreaming?
Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
Singing to be sold?
Have you decided it's safer in cages
singing when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, you know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.

THE SOUND OF VIOLENCE

Hello, razor, my old friend,
I've come to brandish you again,
Judge Turpin sent me to Australia,
Oh, my sweet Lucy, how I failed ya,
And the bloodlust that's now burning in my brain,
Still remains
I hear the sound...of violence.

In the South Sea I swam alone,
So thin that I was skin and bone,
A sailor saved me from the ocean,
Soon my revenge was put in motion,
London greeted me with the utter sense of gloom,
In which it loomed,
And in the sound...of violence.

Judge Turpin came in to get groomed,
I vowed that he was truly doomed,
Damn Anthony for interrupting...

[Sung by a large pair of blood-red lips]


Oh, Ben Barker was fine, his life seemed just divine
With his Lucy hand in hand
But Judge Turpin was there, he liked to sneak and stare
Like some pervert Invisible Man
Then something went wrong
And you know, before long,
Poor old Ben found himself in a jam:
But he came back to that place,
Pale makeup on his face,
And this is how the story ran:

Violence Fiction,
Tragic story
Sweeney’s vengeance

So Sweeney Todd, Hannibal Lector, and Titus Andronicus all walk into a bar.
Okay, so starting a review with a joke might not be the best idea. But never the less, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is considered the first “Musical thriller.” It is one of composer Stephen Sondheim’s most well-known pieces of music and has won a ton of awards and there are productions and tours everywhere…you get the drill. It is personally one of my favorite musicals (in the top ten) and like Phantom I was hesitant to review this film, but gathered my courage and went ahead. The film is actually...
