Sweeney Todd in Ten Minutes

NARRORATOR: As our story begins, we see Benjamin Barker with his wife and child. Mr. Barker was the best bar—

PIRELLI interrupting NARRORATOR: Pardon me, Ma'am. I was just walking by and could not help but notice you have a bit of an, ah, um... Well, a bit of a [stage whisper] bald spot. [With bravado] Might I, your humble Pirelli, interest you in a bottle of my miracle hair-growth elixir?

NARRORATOR: Uh, thank you, Mr. Pirelli, but you see I'm kind of in the middle of something here so—

PIRELLI interrupting NARRORATER: Very well! [Turns to address audience] What about you, ma'am? Or you sir? Don't be shy, there's enough for everyone! [Starts singing] 'TIS PIRELLI'S MIRACLE ELIXIR. THIS'LL DO THE TRICK, SIR. TRUE, SIR, TRUE. WAS IT QUICK, SIR? DID IT IN A TICK, SIR. JUST LIKE AN ELIXIR OUGHT TO—

NARRORATOR, while PIRELLI is singing, sneaks up behind him and slashes his throat with a knife.

NARRORATOR: Ugh! I hate product placement! Now, where was I? Ah, yes. Mr. Barker was the best barber in town. He had the prettiest wife and baby. How sweet [smile]. A happy family as you can see. [Slyly] But for every happy story there is always a villain. Judge Marley was jealous of Mr. Barker and wanted his wife and child. And soooo he did what he does best. [Beat] He got what he wanted. He sent his assistant, Twiddle, to send Benjamin Barker away in exile on false charges. But Barker returned with a soul burning for revenge—especially upon hearing his wife is dead and his daughter is now a young girl living with Marley. Once consumed with such rage, there is no turning back. You become a different person. Barker became a different person—Sweeney Todd, a demon barber filled with nothing but bitter hatred. You reap the consequences for having such vengeance in your heart. [Exits]

TODD pantomimes out scene with wife and baby

SCENE 1, ACT I

MRS. LOVET: Mr. Todd! My meat pie business is absolutely wonderful thanks to our great team work, love!

TODD: That's great. [Emotionlessly] Mr. Twiddle is coming today. We have to prepare for his arrival. [Beat] You should prepare a pie for him.

MRS. LOVET: Alright, love. Anything for you. [Yells] Toby! Where are you?

TOBY walks in with a towel, wiping his hands

TOBY: Here, ma'am.

MRS. LOVET: Get a pie ready and heat up the stove. We will be having company.

TOBY: Yes, ma'am. [Heats up stove in back]

MR. TWIDDLE walks in with a cane and an evil grin

MR. TWIDDLE: Hello, Mr. Todd. I came for that special shave you gave me last time. I have been looking a bit rough around the edges.

TODD: [smiling] Right this way, Mr. Twiddle. [singing] YOU, SIR. YOU SIR, HOW ABOUT A SHAVE? COME AND VISIT YOUR GOOD FRIEND SWEENEY. YOU SIR, TOO, SIR? WELCOME TO THE GRAVE. I WILL HAVE VENGENCE! I WILL HAVE SALVATION! WHO, SIR? YOU SIR? NO ONE'S IN THE CHAIR... [Slashes Twiddle's throat. Beat. Comes down from his shop]

MRS. LOVET: Are you alright, love?

TODD: No, not until I have Marley's throat in my grasp. [Tiredly] Toby, please clean up the pie. Mr. Twiddle won't be eating today. [Mutter] Or ever again. [Exits]

TOBY: Why did he change his mind, ma'am?

MRS. LOVET: He just wasn't that hungry, my dear.

TOBY: I don't trust Mr. Todd, ma'am. He doesn't care about you the way I do. [beat] I will take care of you. If he ever hurt you I would kill him. [Looks at her seriously] I would.

MRS. LOVET smiles at him emotionally.

NARRORATOR: Creepy, isn't it. [shudders] Well, do you think Mr. Todd got what he wanted? [Motions back to scene 2.]

SCENE 2

TODD, excited: Finally! He is coming! Judge Marley is coming! [beat] Ha ha, Mrs. Lovet! He is coming, he is coming, my revenge is almost complete! He will be here any minute. [Toby walks in.] Toby, my boy, will you prepare a pie for Minister Marley? He will be joining us today.

TOBY: Yes, Mr. Todd. [Goes to heat up pie.]

MARLEY, entering: Hello, Mr. Todd.

TODD: Hello, your honor.

MARLEY: Hm.

TODD: Leave us.

MRS. LOVET watches from the window and calls TOBY over silently to leave with her

TODD and MARLEY sing “Pretty Women (Reprise)”

SCENE 3

NARROTATOR: Look who found out a dirty little secret. [Smiles and looks at scene 3, steps back.]

MRS. LOVET, panicking: Todd, my love, I'm sorry I didn't tell you your wife was alive. I'm sorry I lied, I really am! But I did it for us! I wanted to be with you!

TODD, furious: YOU LIED TO ME! [Slyly] You want to be with me? [They start to dance] Forever and ever?

MRS. LOVET: Yes. [beat] Yes. [beat] Yes.

TODD throws her into the furnace and MRS. LOVET dies painfully. TODD kneels down next to his dead wife. TOBY is watching and goes to grab the shaving knife

TODD: Don't I know you, she says. My wife... [beat] She was my wife.[emotionally] I'm sorry, my love. I'm sorry.

TOBY slashes the back of MR. TODD'S neck and he dies.

NARROTATOR: Revenge. Isn't it a powerful thing? Mr. Todd killed his own wife and almost killed his own daughter. In the end, he was killed by his own blade. A perfect ending to a tragic tale.

Everyone bows
