After years of creative triumphs, Broadway has lost its luster for him and Eugene longs for the early days when he and his childhood friends would put on shows together back home in Orrville, Ohio. With little thought and no preparation, Eugene decides to move to Los Angeles where he will surprise his two best friends from childhood, Lawrence and Regina, and help them rediscover their now forgotten love for the theater. After pitching them on his brand new OJ Simpson musical, which is loosely based on Othello, Eugene comes to realize that it may not be as easy as he thought to stage the next great American musical.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1982)

Actors: Angela Lansbury (actress), Harold Prince (miscellaneous crew), Terry Hughes (director), Archer King (producer), George Hearn (actor), Hugh Wheeler (writer), Jimmy B. Frazier (editor), Edmund Lyndeck (actor), Bonnie Burns (producer), Franne Lee (costume designer), Sal Mistretta (actor), Calvin Remsberg (actor), Larry Fuller (miscellaneous crew), Patricia Parker (actress), Walter Charles (actor),

Plot: It's 1846. Sweeney Todd and Anthony Hope, greeted only by a crazed beggar woman, sail into London, where Todd implies he has been before but not in quite some time. Todd heads to his old stomping grounds of Fleet Street, where he runs across the pie shop belonging to Mrs. Nellie Lovett, who professes to make the worst meat pies in London due to the high cost of meat. The upstairs of her building has sat empty since no one wants to rent a space that is considered haunted by its long ago tenant, barber Benjamin Barker who was falsely accused and ultimately sentenced by the sadistic Judge Turpin and who was shipped away to prison in Australia, leaving his wife Lucy and infant daughter Johanna alone in the world. Todd comes to an agreement with Mrs. Lovett to rent the upstairs of her building so that he can open his own barber shop. A series of incidents, including one with rival barber Senor Pirelli, make Todd change his focus slightly away from having a choice encounter with Judge Turpin and his equally sadistic henchman Beadle Bamford, which was one of the reasons he returned to London. Mrs. Lovett believes this change can only help her pie shop. Meanwhile, upon sighting each other, Anthony and Johanna fall in love at first sight. Johanna is now the ward of Judge Turpin, who has his own incompatible wants with her. Todd and Mrs. Lovett's collaboration as well as Anthony's pursuit of Johanna take marked turns with a number of revelations, most specifically about the crazed beggar woman and Mrs. Lovett's motivations.

Judge Turpin: [singing] What more can man require than love sir?::Sweeney Todd: [singing] More than love sir.::Judge Turpin: [singing] What sir?::Sweeney Todd: [singing] Women.::Judge Turpin: [singing] Ah yes, women.::Sweeney Todd: [singing] Pretty women.

Nellie Lovett: [singing] Mrs Mooney has a pie shop. Does a business, but I notice something weird - lately all her neighbour's cats have disappeared.

Nellie Lovett: [singing, after Sweeney Todd has bitten into one of Mrs Lovett's pies] Is that just disgusting? You have to conceed it. It's nothing but crusting, here drink this - you'll need it.

Sweeney Todd: [singing] There's a hole in the world like a great black pit/ And the vermin of the world inhabit it/ And its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit/ And it goes by the name of London.

[first lines]::Man: [singing] Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. His skin was pale and his eye was odd. He shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again. He trod a path that few have trod, Did Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Company: [singing] Swing your razor wide, Sweeney! Hold it to the skies! Freely flows the blood of those who moralize...

Sweeney Todd: [singing] Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd...::Company: [singing] Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd...::Sweeney Todd: [singing] He served a dark and a vengeful god...::Company: [singing] He served a dark and a vengeful god...::Sweeney Todd: [singing] What happened then? Well, that's the play and he wouldn't want us to give it away. Not Sweeney...::Todd, Company: [singing] Not Sweeney Todd... the demon barber of Fleet... Street.

Sweeney Todd: [singing] There was a barber and his wife, and she was beautiful. A foolish barber and his wife. She was his reason and his life, And she was beautiful. And she was virtuous. And he was - Naive. There was another man who saw that she was beautiful, a pious vulture of the law, who, with a gesture of his claw removed the barber from his plate. Then there was nothing but to wait and she would fall, so soft, so young, so lost, and oh, so beautiful!::Anthony Hope: [speaking] And the lady, sir-did she-succumb?::Sweeney Todd: [singing] Oh, that was many years ago... I doubt if anyone would know.

Sweeney Todd: [singing] You there, my friend. Come, let me hold you. Now, with a sigh you grow warm in my hand, my friend, my clever friend. Rest now, my friends. Soon I'll unfold you. Soon you'll know splendors you never have dreamed all your days, my lucky friends. Till now your shine was merely silver. Friends you shall drip rubies...::Nellie Lovett: [singing] [simultaneously] I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd. If you only knew, Mr. Todd - Ooh, Mr. Todd, you're warm in my hand. You've come home. Always had a fondness for you, I did. Never you fear, Mr. Todd, you can move in here, Mr. Todd. Splendors you never have dreamed All your days will be yours. I'm your friend. Don't they shine beautiful? Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T.::Sweeney Todd: [singing] You'll soon drip precious rubies...::Sweeney Todd: [holds up his razor]::Sweeney Todd: [singing] At last, my right arm is complete again!

Johanna: [singing] Green finch and linnet bird, mightingale, blackbird, how is it you sing? how can you jubilate, sitting in cages, never taking wing? Outside the sky waits, beckoning, beckoning, just beyond the bars. How can you remain, staring at the rain, maddened by the stars?

Iago: I have it; it is engend'red! Hell and night Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light!

Iago: I am not what I am.

Othello: It is the cause. It is the cause, my soul. Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars. It is the cause.
