Position:Home>Theater & Acting> What did the letter that Sweeney Todd to Judge Turpin say? I couldn't read iQuestion:Something about meeting him because he knew where Johanna was and he would help get her back i suppose Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Something about meeting him because he knew where Johanna was and he would help get her back i suppose Haven't seen the film yet, but in the stage version the letter is sung: QUINTET: "Most honorable Judge Turpin - Most Honorable - Honorable! I venture thus to write you this - Urgent note to warn you that the hot-blooded - Young - Sailor has abducted your ward Johanna - Johanna - Johanna - From the Institution where you - So wisely confined her but, Hoping to earn you favor I have persuaded the boy to lodge her here tonight At my tonsorial parlor - In Fleet Street. If you want her again in your arms Hurry After the night falls, She will be waiting Waiting... Your obedient humble servant, Sweeney Todd." You have your answer right above. If you ever have the privilege of seeing the musical on stage and how it was originally supposed to be; a quintet sings Todd’s letter and it is one of the coolest songs in the entire show. Its part of a whole scene called “The Wigmaker’s Sequence” |
