In the crowded London marketplace, flamboyant Italian barber Adolfo Pirelli and his simple-minded young assistant Tobias Ragg pitch a dramatic cure-all for hair loss ("Pirelli's Miracle Elixir"). Todd and Lovett soon arrive; as part of his plan to establish his new identity, Todd exposes the elixir as a sham, challenges Pirelli to a shaving competition and easily wins ("The Contest"), inviting the impressed Beadle for a free shave ("The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" – reprise 2). Several days later, Judge Turpin flagellates himself in a frenzy over a growing lust for Johanna, but instead resolves to marry her himself ("Johanna – Mea Culpa").

The Significance and Perception of the Visual Style of Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a Movie by Tim Burton. Donal Henahan wrote an essay in The New York Times concerning the 1984 New York City Opera production: "The difficulty with Sweeney was not that the opera singers were weaklings incapable of filling the State Theater with sound – Miss Elias, who was making her City Opera debut, has sung for many years at the Metropolitan, a far larger house. The other voices in the cast also were known quantities. Rather, it seemed to me that the attempt to actually sing the Sondheim score, which relies heavily on a dramatic parlando or speaking style, mainly showed how far from the operatic vocal tradition the work lies. The score, effective enough in its own way, demanded things of the opera singers that opera singers as a class are reluctant to produce."

In autumn 2015 the Welsh National Opera and Wales Millennium Centre produced a co-production with West Yorkshire Playhouse and the Royal Exchange Manchester as part of the WNO's "Madness" season. Directed by James Brining and designed by Colin Richmond, the production was set in the 1970/80s, and was performed in Cardiff before touring to Southampton, Bristol, Llandudno, Oxford, Liverpool, Birmingham before returning to Cardiff. It was based on Brining's previous smaller productions from Dundee Rep in 2010, West Yorkshire Playhouse and Royal Exchange Manchester in 2013. The cast included David Arnsperger as Sweeney Todd, Janis Kelly as Mrs. Lovett, and Jamie Muscato as Anthony. Regardless of the stylistic choices, the costumes in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street were constructed beautifully. One costume that seems to be constructed accurately is the aforementioned blue dress Johanna wears. The dress rests almost off her shoulders, and on the top hem there is a line of white lace, which was popular during the Crinoline time period. In the torso of this beautiful blue dress, one can clearly see the structural work done with seams and stitching. Also in the torso, one can tell that there is just the hint of a corset underneath. The fabric this dress is made of looks lush and expensive, which would be accurate considering that her adoptive care-giver is a well-known judge. Also, if one looks closely, you can see a small print on the fabric, especially on the bodice. The print would be accurate to the Crinoline time period thanks to the advances from the industrial revolution. There are many ways to put together the costumes for the street people of London and pricing is determined by the number of pieces that make up the costume. Embrace the dark and twisted nature of Sweeney Todd’s character with the essential straight-razor kit, an ominous reminder of his nefarious barber skills.

For example, if you say you want to paint something red, but Aaron was planning on using a purple light, how do you decide the right "look' between the set and the lighting? I have been cosplaying Sweeney Todd for 3 years now, and have put in a great deal of time researching and looking at pictures of the Sweeney Todd costume. So I thought I would share a bit of what I know. Crinoline, the period of costume history from 1840-1865, is the time period in which Sweeney Todd is set. One defining feature from this time period is missing from a majority of the movie, the Crinoline. Crinoline’s were the main shift from the time period before, and these under garments held the dresses out to huge, even extreme, sizes. The leading players in the movie do not particularly follow all of the traditional Crinoline styles, but the ensemble members come very close. For example, in the song, “Pirelli's Miracle Elixir” there are many times that the camera would sweep over the ensemble and they were all dressed according to period. The women had their hair in the traditional twist and bonnets, but the leading females never wore their hair as such nor did they wear bonnets. This movie, while succeeding with the ensembles costumes, does not truly replicate the time period. What one must remember about the movie is that it is stylized and the costumes contain elements from the time period without fully fulfilling the requirement that comes with a realistic period piece.

In conclusion, dressing up as Sweeney Todd for Halloween can be a fun and exciting way to get into character and become someone else for the night. With the right costume, wig, and accessories, you can transform into this iconic character and impress your friends and fellow party-goers. Morose and vengeful; a barber by profession who has returned to London, after fifteen years of unjust incarceration in an Australian penal colony, to seek revenge first on the corrupt judge and beadle who sent him there, and then on all humanity through his clients.
