As I promised, Claire, here it's my drawing. I looked at 2 photos of Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett and I adapted them to my drawing.
So awesome and exciting to draw Helena and Johnny :D
Hope toi like
Well, I have to write plus so as this can be an article... so sorry for this hehe
MRS. LOVETT:
A customer!
Wait! What's your rush? What's your hurry?
toi gave me such a -- Fright, I thought toi was a ghost!
Half a minute, can'tcher sit! Sit toi down, sit!
All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks!
Did toi come here for a pie, sir?
Do forgive me if me head's a little vague--
(Ugh! What is that?) But toi think we had the plague! From the way that people, keep avoiding--
(No toi don't!) Heaven knows I try, sir! But there's no one comes in even to inhale!
Right toi are, sir, would toi like a drop of ale?
Mind you, I can't hardly blame them
These are probably the worst pies in London!
I know why nobody cares to take them,
I should know, I make them,
But good? No!
The worst pies in London,
Even that's polite!
The worst pies in London,
If toi doubt it, take a bite!
Is that just disgusting?
toi have to concede it!
It's nothing but crusting!
Here, drink this, you'll need it!
The worst pies in London...
And no wonder with the price of meat
What it is -- when toi get it
Never -- Thought I'd live to see the day
Men'd think it was a treat
Findin' poor -- animals
Wot are dyin' in the street!
Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop!
Does her business but I notice something weird.
Lately all her neighbors' chats have disappeared!
Have to hand it to her --
Wot I calls, "enterprise"!
Poppin' pussies into pies!
Wouldn't do in my shop!
Just the thought of it's enough to make toi sick!
And I'm tellin' you, them pussycats is quick...!
No denying times is hard, sir
Even harder than the worst pies in London!
Only lard and nothing plus --
Is that just revolting,
All greasy and gritty?
It looks like it's molting,
And tastes like...
Well, pity
A woman alone,
With limited wind,
And the worst pies in London!
Ah, sir, times is hard,
Times is hard...!

Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it toi sing?
How can toi jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can toi remain
staring at the rain
maddened par the stars?
How is it toi sing
anything?
How is it toi sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it toi sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing ou merely aloaming?
Are toi discussing?
ou fussing?
ou simply dreaming?
Are toi crowing?
Are toi screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
chant to be sold?
Have toi decided it's safer in cages
chant when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, toi know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.

I know there's already stories on here of how fans found out about sweeney todd, but i thought id like to share mine.
About seven months ago, like around June, i was looking up twilight parodies/spoofs and came across the hillywood show's twilight parody.(at the time, i didnt really know who they were.) i thought "wow, that was incredible!" so i went 2 their website and started watching their vids. and all of toi who r a big fan of johnny depp, you'll l’amour the show. so, i got 2 the sweeney todd episodes. i knew who sweeney todd was but i didnt really know the story. i just, toi know, thought that he was killing people for no apparent reason:P i started to really like the music. that led me to buy the cd. which led me to buy the movie. which then led me 2 buy the movie companion book. when it came out 2 theaters and when i saw the trailers, i didnt pay much attention to it. now i do! oh ya and this was also how i am a big fan of johnny depp.
I would hane to say that Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett put the fun in dysfunctional. I loved how Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett would sing, dance and kill their customers on a daily bases like it was just a job. In my opinion Mrs. Lovett was par all means the plus evil out of the two.
I really felt bad for Mrs. Lovett because she loved Sweeney Todd so much and he did not even notice her. The only time he would pay attention to her was when he needed her to do something for him.
It really is a shame because Mrs. Lovett would have made a great wife for Sweeney Todd that is if he loved her at all because she loved him with all her cœur, coeur even though she knew that he did not l’amour her and yet she would do anything for him.
