I’m not here to start a riot…

I’m just here to let y’all know the source material for the Sweeney Todd musical says, Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett are both very pro The Fucking™️

Sweeney Todd by CG Bond

Pg. 47

ACT II SCENE 4

MRS LOVETT You living above, like, and us not married. People are beginning to talk.

TODD Let them.

MRS LOVETT Typical! Men! Oh, it's all very well for you, but it's not so nice for a woman, I can tell you. All sorts of names they're calling me behind my back, I shouldn't wonder. Well, it's not nice, is it? (Still holding the bowl, she sits on TODD's knee) I mean, you do love me just a teensy bit, don't yer?

(She nibbles at his ear coquettishly)

TODD Indeed I do. (He kisses her)

MRS LOVETT Ooooh- (Putting the bowl on the table) here me hands are all mucky. Just let me give 'em a wipe. (She wipes her hands on her apron) Now then. (She cuddles him with relish) How about a little guest house, then? I'd keep it nice as pie, I would. Warm yer slippers by the fire, fetch you a jug when you wanted one, polish yer razors up regular. You wouldn't want for nothing with me looking after you.

TODD (kissing her between every word) The Judge - the Beadle

- first...

MRS LOVETT (getting up and indignantly smoothing her skirt) I thought you'd packed that revenge caper in. Still moaning after your Lucy, are you? Still wishing she hadn't of poisoned herself?

TODD There, there. Now, Sweeney Todd has never had a wife

- has he?

MRS LOVETT No, but that other fellow did.

TODD But you don't love that other fellow, do you? You love

Sweeney Todd. Come, come.

MRS LOVETT sits on his knee again.

MRS LOVETT I suppose so, but...

SWEENEY TODD kisses her again.

Why yes I do name my foster cats after Sweeney Todd characters:

Meet Beadle, Benjamin “Benny” Barker, and Lucy (who was really more of a Mrs. Lovett)

Pssst Beadle & Benny are both available for adoption in the SoCal area as well!

#1. He chose to whisk her off the table, his wee little satanic bride ❤️

#2. Adorable how she actually gives a shit about Johanna

#3. All of the unnecessary touching in Pirelli is so underrated.

#4. I just… I can’t… like… his little face cradle her little shoulder grab. UNDO ME. Like two little crabs clawing at each other.

#5. I Love Lucy vibes. “uh oh we’re in troubleeeeeeeee now!”

#6. “Smell this piss…” “yep that’s piss… no I don’t need another whiff.” *gag* the little pats

#7. The chair. The fucking chair y’all. Ain’t a single thing helped a ship sail more than this chair… him grabbing her as soon as she gets to the top of the stairs. So married couple. And she’s so stupid excited for him because like a good wifey she supports his interests.

#8. Cannibal pies healing those lies ❤️‍🩹

#9…. Oh wait.

ooh, let the light in at your back door yelling 'cause i wanna come in ooh, turn your light on look at us, you and i, back at it again

#OP sneaking onto tumblr with this #sweenett #GUH THESE TWO #no one did anything wrong and they lived happily ever after. #he chose to go to eternal damnation with her and that’s the most romantic thing #hell is miserable you need a good buddy to spend forever with #sweeney todd revival #sweeney todd

“Hurry up and take the pic I’m freezing!”

Front row at the Patti Lupone concert in my Sweeney Todd “A Little Priest” dress! Did up some messy Mrs. Lovett inspired hair and makeup and honestly I was probably the youngest person there LOL

While the patches weren’t my original plan they turned out okay, thinking about redoing the dress and making the entire thing from scratch.

Had to rethink my design for the “A Little Priest” dress when I realized the lining of the dress was going to make my project hard to directly embroidery… so now we’re going with patches. But it’s kinda fun in a punk way.

So, almost halfway done with the 30 patches but my embroidery machine said… no thanks. So now I get to spend half the day fixing it. Joy.

T-Minus 4 days until the concert.

#I’m now just obsessed with how different these are #especially the dialogue #like some of these choices are so good #I wish we had visuals of previews #sweeney todd

[broadwayinabox]

#PREVIEWSSSSSSSSS #I love hearing the differences from then to now (well the end of the run) #sweeney todd

[broadwayinabox]

It is WILD to hear how different this is to say May/Oct/Jan

notes:

annaleigh ashford was on her hands and knees desperately begging for josh groban’s sweeney to listen to her, you can hear the sound of her slamming her hands on the stage as she says “could that thing have cared for you like me?” it was such an intense thing to watch

josh groban is practically spitting as he says “eminently practical and yet appropriate as always,” again the energy and his emotions are incredibly intense

i’m not super familiar with other sweeney todd productions, but in this one it seems that mrs lovett knows what’s coming. ashford keeps glancing toward the oven as groban spins her around, but it seems she wants to keep deluding herself into believing him, she wants to see the version of sweeney she creates in “by the sea.” she sounds frantic in her signing, like she’s trying to convince herself what she’s saying is true as well. or, she knows what’s coming and just doesn’t care, she’s resigned to death. either way, it’s an amazing performance by ashford

#I so wish there were 👢 from these early shows #sweeneytodd #sweeney todd #also the line fuck up at the end by Lovett is 🤌🏻
