Sweeney Todd StartersAct 1

Feel free to change as needed!

Ballad of Sweeney Todd

“He trod a path that few have trod.”

“What if none of their souls were saved?”

“Freely flows the blood of those who moralize.”

“[Name] heard music that no one heard.”

“He served a dark and a vengeful god.”

No Place Like London/The Barber and his Wife

"I have sailed the world, beheld its wonders.”

“But there’s no place like London!”

“I feel home again.”

“I could hear the city bells ring.”

“You are young. Life has been kind to you… You will learn.”

“’Tis here we go our separate ways.”

“Must you glare at me?”

“There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it”

“That was many years ago… I doubt if anyone would know.”

“There is somewhere I must go. There is something I must find out.”

The Worst Pies in London/Poor Thing

“Wait! What’s your rush, what’s your hurry?”

“You gave me such a fright, I thought you was a ghost!”

“All I meant is that I haven’t seen a customer for weeks!”

“Heaven knows I try, Sir!”

“Here drink this, you’ll need it.”

“Too bad. Pure thing.”

“Ah but there was worse yet to come.”

“My, you do like a good story, don’t you?”

My Friends/Ballad of Sweeney Todd Reprise

"See how they glisten?”

“Speak to me friend.”

“Whisper, I’ll listen.”

“We’re together, and we’ll do wonders!”

“Come, let me hold you.”

“I’m your friend too, [Name].”

“Always had a fondness for you, I did.”

“Soon you’ll know splendors you never have dreamed.”

“I’m your friend, and you’re mine!”

“He seldom laughed but he often smiled.”

“He never forgot and he never forgave.”

Green Finch and Linnet Bird

“How is it you sing?”

“Outside the sky waits, beckoning, just beyond the bars.”

“How can you remain, staring at the rain, maddened by the stars?”

“Are you discussing, or fussing, or simply dreaming? Are you screaming?”

“Have you decided it’s safer in cages, singing when you’re told?”

“My cage has many rooms, damask and dark.”

“Teach me to be more adaptive.”

“Teach me how to sing.”

“If I cannot fly, let me sing.”

Ah Miss/Johanna

“Look at me.”

“Please favor me with your glance.”

“What do you see off there in those trees?”

“Won’t you give me a chance?”

“Don’t you go trespassing there.”

“I feel you, [Name].”

“I was half convinced I’d wakened, satisfied enough to dream you.”

“I’ll steal you, [Name].”

“Do they think that walls can hide you?”

“Even now I’m at your window.”

“I am in the dark beside you.”

“Till I’m with you then, I’m with you there.”

Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir/The Contest

“May I have your attention, please?”

“I will show you a miracle marvelous rare.”

“How about a bottle?”

“You can have my oath.”

“Pardon me, what’s that awful stink?”

“Glad as always, to oblige my friends and neighbors.”

Wait

“Easy now, hush, love, hush.”

“Don’t distress yourself.”

“Think it through. Once it bubbles, then what’s to do?”

“I’ve been thinking flowers, maybe daisies, to brighten up the room.”

“Don’t you think some flowers might relieve the gloom?”

“Half the fun is to plan the plan.”

“All good things come to those who can wait.”

Kiss Me/Ladies in Their Sensibilities

“He means to marry me Wednesday.”

“I’ll swallow poison on Sunday.”

“Kiss me.”

“Was that a noise?”

“Still was that a noise? Wasn’t that a noise?”

“If he shall marry me Monday, what shall I do?”

“What can we do with time so brief?”

“I did love you, even as I saw you.”

“It’s me you’ll marry on Monday.”

“I knew I’d be with you one day, even not knowing who you were.”

“Walk home with me, for I have news for you.”

“Perhaps at time I am a little over hasty.”

“I daren’t pack.”

“I have a place where we can go tonight.”

“I’ll marry [Name] Sunday!”

Pretty Women/Epiphany

“Pretty women are a wonder.”

“Even when they leave they still are there.”

“His throat was beneath my hand!”

“Now he’ll never come again!”

“I keep telling you, what’s your rush?”

“Why did I wait? You told me to wait!”

“They all deserve to die.”

“No, we all deserve to die.”

“Welcome to the grave.”

“I will have vengeance. I will have salvation.”

“I’m alive at last!”

A Little Priest

“Seems a downright shame. Seems an awful waste.”

“[Name], how I’ve lived without you all these years I’ll never know it!”

“How delectable! Also undetectable!”

“These are desperate times, [Name], and desperate measures are called for!”

“The history of the world, my love, is those below serving those up above.”

“How gratifying for once to know, that those above will serve those down below!”

“The history of the world, my sweet, is who gets eaten and who gets to eat!”

“Have charity to the world.”

‘   pardon my enthusiasm.   ‘

‘   i like your enthusiasm.   ‘

‘   i was betrothed, once along time ago but tragedy bestowed my love.‘

‘   everything will go as planned.  ‘

‘   she/he/they will marry.  ‘

‘   no. i’m telling the truth. ‘

‘   [name] needs my help.   ‘

‘   she’s/he’s married a corpse.   ‘

‘   with this hand…I will take your wine…no…  ‘

‘   [name] married a dead woman!   ‘

‘   what a story it is. a tragic tale of romance, passion, and murder most foul.  ‘

‘   there’s an eye in me soup.  ‘

‘   die, die. we all pass away.  ‘

‘   don’t wear a frown ‘cause it’s really okay.  ‘

‘   you might and pray, but we all end up the remains of the day.  ‘

‘   you’re married to me! she’s/he’s/they’re the other woman/man/person!  ‘

‘   if i hadn’t just been sitting in it, i’d say you’ve lost your mind. ‘

‘   i spent so long in the darkness….i’d almost forgotten how beautiful the moonlight is! ‘

‘   what if….what if [name] and i don’t….like each other? ‘

‘   as if that has anything to do with marriage. ‘

‘   do you suppose your father/mother and i “like” each other?   ‘

‘   there’ll be a wedding after all.  ‘

‘   you cannot make me do this!  ‘

‘   please, i beg of you! there must be another way!  ‘

‘   we shall be forced penniless into the street.  ‘

‘   i’m so happy to see you! here, come by the fire. where have you been? ‘

‘   i….i…oh, dear.   ‘

‘   i s-s… i seem to find myself married.  ‘

‘   my darling, i just wanted to meet…..darling! who’s this? ‘

‘   wait, you don’t understand. ‘

‘   i never thought I’d see you again… ‘

‘   we’re going to take whatever money we can and get out of here.  ‘

‘   your dowry. it’s my right!  ‘

‘   it’s my marriage to you that will save them from the poorhouse.   ‘

‘   you’re lying. it isn’t true. tell me that you’re lying!!  ‘

‘   well, perhaps in disappointment we are perfectly matched!  ‘

‘   it’s a beautiful day! ‘

‘   a rehearsal, my dear, to be perfectly clear. ’

‘   always the bridesmaid, never the bride!   ‘

‘   tell me my dear, can a heart still break once it’s stopped beating?  ‘

‘   my dreams were taken from me. ‘

‘   but now - now i’ve stolen them from someone else. ‘

‘   i love you, [name], but you are not mine.  ‘

‘   isn’t the view beautiful? it takes my breath away. ‘

‘   it takes my breath away. well, it would if i had any.‘

‘   don’t you understand? you’re the other woman/man.  ‘

‘   you should know it’s unexpected!  ‘

‘   you shall marry [name] tomorrow. ‘

‘   i….felt i should be with you always ‘

‘   i should be with you always, and that our wedding could not come soon enough! ‘

‘   i confess. this morning i was…terrified of marriage.  ‘

‘   i was…terrified of marriage.  ‘

‘   if i touch a burning candle, i can feel no pain.  ‘

‘   in the ice or in the sun, it’s all the same. ‘

‘   yet i feel my heart is aching. though it doesn’t beat, it’s breaking.  ‘

‘   the pain here that i feel, try and tell me it’s not real. ‘

‘   i know that i died, yet it seems that i still have some tears to shed.  ‘

‘   i still have some tears to shed.  ‘

‘   with this hand i will lift your sorrows.  ‘

‘   with this candle, i will light your way into darkness. ‘  

‘   with this ring, i ask you to be mine.  ‘

‘   i’ll strangle him/her with my bare hands!  ‘

‘   i’m sure he’ll/she’ll be back shortly. he’s/she’s terrified of the dark. ‘

‘   i am terribly sorry about what’s happened to you and i would like to help.  ‘

‘   since i was a child, i’ve dreamt of my wedding day.  ‘

‘   you kept your promise. you set me free. now i can do the same for you.  ‘

‘   i made a promise.  ‘
