Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street
SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET
There was a man named Benjamin Barker. He is undeniably the most accomplished barber in all Victorian London and is very famous because of his skills. He is married to the very beautiful Lucy and they have a lovely child, Johanna. The beauty of Lucy attracts the attention of the maniac Judge Turpin, who had lusted Lucy and falsely accuses the barber of a crime that he did not commit and banished him so that he can have Lucy to himself.
After fifteen years in exile, Benjamin returns to London with a young sailor man named Anthony under the new identity of Sweeney Todd. He is determined to seek vengeance against the Judge for taking his wife. As he reached London, he immediately went to the place where he and his family resided. At Mrs. Lovett's meat pie shop on Fleet Street, he learns that Lucy poisoned herself. Todd's teenage daughter is now Turpin's ward and like her mother, she is the object of Turpin's lust. After hearing the news, Todd vows revenge. He reopened his barber shop after Mrs. Lovett returns his old razors to him.
While roaming London, Anthony spots a pretty young woman singing in an upstairs room of a large house. He asks the beggar for her name. Anthony instantly fell in love with her and planned to steal her from the judge. The Judge saw him and invites him in. Though the Judge warns Anthony that he will be punished if he is seen there again, the sailor becomes more convinced that he and Johanna are meant to be together as she gave her the key to her room.
During a visit to the marketplace, Todd witnessed a fraudulent hair tonic by a barber, Pirelli, and humiliates him in a public shaving contest. He gained the attention of Beadle Bamford after winning. Few days later, Pirelli and his boy assistant Toby arrived. Mrs. Lovett keeps Toby occupied downstairs, while in the parlor Pirelli tells Todd that he recognize him and threatens to reveal Todd's secret to Beadle Bamford unless Todd gives him
