I saw Sweeny Todd twice. I enjoyed the story and I like Jonny Depp. I don't know that I could have seen the original broadway show but the movie was quite enjoyable. It had humor, darkness, irony (my fav), even a little happiness, very little bit of happiness. All in all, I enjoyed the movie. It does display just how "ugly" revenge can be and if you allow it to eat yourself up just what will become of you and those around you whom you affect.

SWEENEY TODD IS REALLY A MUSICAL ABOUT HOW A MURDEROUS BARBER IS OUT TO GET REVENGE FOR HIS WIFE LUCY.

He goes back to London with a sailor named Antony Hope and finds out Mrs. Lovett still owns a pie shop. So he goes in and Mrs. Lovett explains to him how she has the wort pies in Lodon and times are hard. So Barker says to rent the room above the pie shop. She said people think its haunted. So she tells him the story of what happened (poor thing) and he cant take it anymore and she recongizes him as the barber. So Mrs. Lovett tells him his wife poisened herself and Judge Turpin has his daughter. So Barker comes up with the diguise of Sweeney Todd. And Mrs. Lovett gives him back his old razors. So he vowed vengence on the Judge. Then Sweeney finds a barber named Pirelli who has an elixer and Sweeney says its piss mixed with ink. Then he challenges him and wins. Afterwards Pirelli finds him and knows who he is and threatens to blackmail him so, Sweeney out of rage kills him and stuffs him in a trunk. Mrs. Lovett kind of adopts Tobias aka Toby. Then she finds out what Todd did and gets the idea of using human flesh as the filling for her meat pies. So Sweeney kills the men he shaves the faces of and mrs. lovett uses them for her pies. Then Antony Hope finds Johanna his daughter and tells him hes going to marry her but has no where to take her so Mrs. Lovett says she can stay with them. Then Mrs. Lovett suggests to Sweeney he kill Antony but he doesnt. So then the Judge finally comes in and right about where hes about to kill Antony runs in singing about his love for Johanna. Judge Turpin then locks Johanna in an insane asylum. Sweeney vows vengence in the song Epiphany. While Sweeney is sulking over the judge, Mrs. Lovett tells him a dream she has always had..that she wants to marry him and live by the sea..(By the Sea). Then Antony finds Johanna in the asylum and tells Sweeney. Sweeney then sends Antony as a wigmakers apprentice for hair..and rescues Johanna and the asylums owner is attacked by his patients. Then Toby tells Mrs. Lovett he will always be there for her (Not While I'm Around). He wants to protect her from Sweeney. Then Toby is starting to suspect Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett locks him in the bakehouse to help make pies. Beadle Bamford walks in and needs to check the chimmany because of the awful stench and then Sweeney decides to give him a shave..he kills him and sends him down the chute. Toby soon finds out and hides deep in the bakehouse. Then an old beggar women who keeps saying she knows Sweeney walks in looking for Beadle. So she walks in and starts to sing. Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett are trying to find Toby but cant find him. So then Sweeney goes back to his shop. He sees the old beggar women and hears the judge coming. So he quickly kills her and sends her down the chute. The judge comes and Sweeney quickly kills her. Johanna is watching the whole thing because she hid in the trunk when the beggar women came in. (Antony bought Johanna there). So Johanna comes out of hiding dressed as a sailor. Sweeney doesnt recongize her and almost kills her until Mrs. Lovett screams in the bakehouse. Judge Turpin didnt die right away and was hanging on to her dress. Mrs. Lovett in a hurry tries to put the old beggar womens body into the oven. Sweeney tells her to go and open the oven and then he soon realizes that the old beggar women is his wife. He tells Mrs. Lovett she knew all along. He called her a liar but she said she drank the poison but she didnt say she died. Then Sweeney decides to "forgive" her and they start to waltz. When they get close to the oven he pushes her into it and closes the door. Then he goes to his wife's body and mourns over it. Toby comes out of hiding, takes Sweeney's razor and kills Sweeney. He bleeds to death over his wifes body.
