The len cariou sweeney todd full list above is based on the production's playbill listing, but we've added extra identifying information for several numbers — the opening and finale "Ballad"s, the two songs titled "Johanna," and what was listed in the playbill as "Quartet," which many productions don't list as a separate number.

In addition, we've listed the organ prelude, which was not listed in the playbill. Some things that may seem odd — e. Only the opening and the closing "Ballad of Sweeney Todd" were listed but none of the other reprises and variants of the number. Despite what Sondheim has said in two books — Sondheim on Music: Minor Details and Major Decisions and Finishing the Hat — the tooth-pulling sequence in "The Contest" was in the production for the entire run.

One section of "The Contest" was cut during previews; specifically, Pirelli's opening section of the number the section starting "Now, signorini, signori" and ending "Pull all of 'em out! That section was, however, included on the cast recording. This is how that cut worked in the production: After the Beadle said, "The fastest, smoothest shave is the winner," there was a brief musical transition, then Pirelli sang "To shave-a da face" and continued from there with the rest of the number.

The first half of the "Now, signorini, signori" section with one minor lyric change was restored for the London production and the national tour, both of which cut the tooth pulling. Many productions since have followed their example. The cast recording shortened the organ prelude. On opening night, an even longer version was heard, but a cut was soon made that nonetheless left a version that was a good deal longer than what was heard on the cast recording.

Also heard on opening night was a different lyric for the end of the final reprise of "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd. At this time, all the principal roles were being played by original cast members with the exceptions of Anthony, played here by Cris Groenendaal, and Johanna, played here by Betsy Joslyn. What's New.

Suddenly, the judge enters; Todd quickly seats him and lulls him with a relaxing conversation "Pretty Women".

Before Todd can kill the judge, however, Anthony re-enters and blurts out his elopement plan. The angry judge storms out, vowing never to return and to send Johanna away. Todd drives Anthony out in a fit of fury and, reminded of the evil he sees in London, resolves to depopulate the city by murdering his future customers since all people deserve to die: the wicked to be punished for their deeds, and the "rest of us" to be relieved of their misery "Epiphany".

While discussing how to dispose of Pirelli's body, Mrs. Lovett is struck by a sudden idea and suggests that they use the bodies of Todd's victims in her meat pies, and Todd happily agrees "A Little Priest". Several weeks later, Mrs. Lovett's pie shop has become a successful business, and Tobias len cariou sweeney todd full there as a waiter.

The pies are very popular "God, That's Good! Todd has acquired a special mechanical barber's chair that allows him to kill clients and then send their bodies directly through a chute into the pie shop's basement bakehouse. Casually slitting his customers' necks, Todd despairs of ever seeing Johanna, while Anthony searches London for her "Johanna — Quartet".

Anthony finds Johanna locked away in a private lunatic asylumbut barely escapes being placed under arrest by the Beadle. After a day of hard work, while Todd remains fixated on his revenge, Mrs. Lovett envisions marrying Todd and retiring to the seaside "By the Sea". Anthony arrives to beg Todd for help to free Johanna, and Todd, revitalised, instructs Anthony to rescue her by posing as a wigmaker intent on purchasing inmates' hair "Wigmaker Sequence" and "The Ballad However, once Anthony has departed, Todd sends a letter informing the Judge that Anthony will bring Johanna to his shop just after dark, and that he will hand her over "The Letter" in order to lure him back to the shop.

In the pie shop, Tobias tells Mrs. When he recognizes Pirelli's coin purse in Mrs. Lovett's hands, she distracts him by showing him the bakehouse, instructing him how to work the meat grinder and the oven before locking him in. Upstairs, she encounters the Beadle at her harmonium ; he has been asked by Lovett's neighbors to investigate the strange smoke and stench from the pie shop's chimney.

Lovett loudly plays her harmonium to cover the Beadle's screams above as Todd dispatches him. In the basement, Tobias discovers hair and fingernails in a pie he has been eating, just as the Beadle's fresh corpse comes tumbling through the chute. Terrified, he flees into the sewers below the bakehouse. Lovett then informs Todd that Tobias has found out about their secret and they plot to kill him.

Anthony arrives at the asylum to rescue Johanna, but is exposed when Johanna recognizes him. Anthony draws a pistol given to him by Todd, but cannot bring himself to shoot Jonas Fogg, the corrupt asylum owner; Johanna grabs the pistol and kills Fogg. As Anthony and Johanna flee, the asylum's freed inmates prophesy the end of the world, while Todd and Mrs.

Anthony and Johanna now disguised as a sailor arrive at Todd's empty shop. Anthony leaves to seek a coach after he and Johanna reaffirm their love "Ah Miss" — reprise. Johanna hears the beggar woman entering and hides in a trunk in the barbershop. The beggar woman seems to recognize the room "Beggar Woman's Lullaby". Todd enters and tries to force her to leave as she again seems to recognize him.

Hearing the Judge outside, a frantic Todd kills the beggar woman, sending her body down the chute barely a moment before the Judge bursts in. Todd assures the Judge that Johanna is repentant, and the judge asks for a quick splash of cologne. Once he has the Judge in his chair, Todd soothes him with another conversation on women, but this time he alludes to their "fellow tastes, in women at least".

The Judge recognizes him as "Benjamin Barker! Remembering Tobias, Todd starts to leave, but, realizing he has left his razor behind, returns just as the disguised Johanna rises, horrified, from the trunk. Not recognizing her, Todd attempts to kill her, just as Mrs. Lovett shrieks from the bakehouse below, providing a distraction for Johanna to escape.

Downstairs, Mrs. Lovett is struggling with the dying Judge, who clutches on her dress.

She then attempts to drag the beggar woman's body into the oven, but Todd arrives and, through a shaft of light, sees the lifeless face clearly for the first time: the beggar woman was his wife Lucy.

Todd feigns forgiveness, dancing manically with Mrs. Lovett until he hurls her into the oven, burning her alive. Full of despair and in shock, Todd embraces the dead Lucy.

He picks up Todd's fallen razor and slits Todd's throat. As Todd falls dead and Tobias drops the razor, Anthony, Johanna and some constables break into the bakehouse. Tobias, heedless of them, begins turning the meat grinder, crooning Mrs. Lovett's previous instructions to him "Final Scene". The ensemble cast, soon joined by the risen Todd and Mrs.
