As I promised, Claire, here it's my drawing. I looked at 2 foto of Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett and I adapted them to my drawing.
So awesome and exciting to draw Helena and Johnny :D
Hope te like
Well, I have to write più so as this can be an article... so sorry for this hehe
MRS. LOVETT:
A customer!
Wait! What's your rush? What's your hurry?
te gave me such a -- Fright, I thought te was a ghost!
Half a minute, can'tcher sit! Sit te down, sit!
All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks!
Did te come here for a pie, sir?
Do forgive me if me head's a little vague--
(Ugh! What is that?) But te think we had the plague! From the way that people, keep avoiding--
(No te don't!) Heaven knows I try, sir! But there's no one comes in even to inhale!
Right te are, sir, would te like a drop of ale?
Mind you, I can't hardly blame them
These are probably the worst pies in London!
I know why nobody cares to take them,
I should know, I make them,
But good? No!
The worst pies in London,
Even that's polite!
The worst pies in London,
If te doubt it, take a bite!
Is that just disgusting?
te have to concede it!
It's nothing but crusting!
Here, drink this, you'll need it!
The worst pies in London...
And no wonder with the price of meat
What it is -- when te get it
Never -- Thought I'd live to see the day
Men'd think it was a treat
Findin' poor -- animals
Wot are dyin' in the street!
Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop!
Does her business but I notice something weird.
Lately all her neighbors' Gatti have disappeared!
Have to hand it to her --
Wot I calls, "enterprise"!
Poppin' pussies into pies!
Wouldn't do in my shop!
Just the thought of it's enough to make te sick!
And I'm tellin' you, them pussycats is quick...!
No denying times is hard, sir
Even harder than the worst pies in London!
Only lard and nothing più --
Is that just revolting,
All greasy and gritty?
It looks like it's molting,
And tastes like...
Well, pity
A woman alone,
With limited wind,
And the worst pies in London!
Ah, sir, times is hard,
Times is hard...!

Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it te sing?
How can te jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can te remain
staring at the rain
maddened da the stars?
How is it te sing
anything?
How is it te sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it te sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing o merely aloaming?
Are te discussing?
o fussing?
o simply dreaming?
Are te crowing?
Are te screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
Canto to be sold?
Have te decided it's safer in cages
Canto when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, te 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.

I know there's already stories on here of how fan found out about sweeney todd, but i thought id like to share mine.
About seven months ago, like around June, i was looking up twilight parodies/spoofs and came across the hillywood show's twilight parody.(at the time, i didnt really know who they were.) i thought "wow, that was incredible!" so i went 2 their website and started watching their vids. and all of te who r a big fan of johnny depp, you'll Amore the show. so, i got 2 the sweeney todd episodes. i knew who sweeney todd was but i didnt really know the story. i just, te know, thought that he was killing people for no apparent reason:P i started to really like the music. that led me to buy the cd. which led me to buy the movie. which then led me 2 buy the movie companion book. when it came out 2 theaters and when i saw the trailers, i didnt pay much attention to it. now i do! oh ya and this was also how i am a big fan of johnny depp.
I would hane to say that Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett put the fun in dysfunctional. I loved how Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett would sing, dance and kill their customers on a daily bases like it was just a job. In my opinion Mrs. Lovett was da all means the più evil out of the two.
I really felt bad for Mrs. Lovett because she loved Sweeney Todd so much and he did not even notice her. The only time he would pay attention to her was when he needed her to do something for him.
It really is a shame because Mrs. Lovett would have made a great wife for Sweeney Todd that is if he loved her at all because she loved him with all her cuore even though she knew that he did not Amore her and yet she would do anything for him.
