The Characters

        

SWEENEY TODD

Morose and brooding, a barber by profession, newly arrived in London after 15 years' unjust incarceration in a penal colony.

MRS. LOVETT

A cheery, chatty but wholly amoral shopkeeper whose premises and pies are coated in dust and plagued by flies. She would like to be more than merely a landlady to Mr. Todd.

ANTHONY HOPE

A young man, befriended by Todd on the voyage home.

JOHANNA

A beautiful girl, Todd's daughter but now claimed by Judge Turpin as his own.

JUDGE TURPIN

A corrupt and depraved official, an upholder of justice who twists the system to serve his own ends.

BEADLE BAMFORD

Turpin's accomplice in his crimes.

BEGGAR WOMAN

A mad old crone with a filthy tongue, whose cries go unheeded.

PIRELLI

An Italian barber, though of unauthenticated provenance.

TOBIAS RAGG

A simple, kind-hearted lad. He works first for Pirelli, then for Mrs. Lovett, but never trusts Todd.
