Sweeny Todd has neither been proven fact nor fiction. There are no records from the 1800s, estimably when Sweeny Todd was supposed to have existed, that a barber by the name of Todd existed. Most scholars believe that Sweeny Todd actually came from an old Horror story and from word of mouth. Sweeny Todd, or characters with Sweeny Todd characteristics, has made appearances in other works of literature, sorry but I'm not sure which but it's easy to find it on search engines. Real or not Sweeny Todd does capture the imagination of the viewer and portrayed as a very possible person.

∙ 11y agoThere are many different versions of the Sweeney Todd legend. Assuming you are referring to the Stephen Sondheim version (which became a Tim Burton movie starring Johnny Depp), yes, Sweeney Todd kills Mrs. Lovett at the end.

How did Sweeney Todd kill?
At the end Sweeney Todd is left sitting with his wife (Lucy) who turned out to have poisoned herself, but not died. He is not really paying attention to what is going on around him (He seems to be alone since Ms. Lovett died) and Toby comes out of hiding and sees the razor and cuts Sweeney Todd's throat. I am playing Toby in Sweeney Todd and I know this, I also saw the Broadway show, the movie, and the show on tour. And in all of them this is the ending. Ms. Lovett does not kill Sweeney Todd because Sweeney Todd already killed her.

Why was Sweeney Todd sent away in the beginning of the film?
When Judge Turpin desired Lucy (Todd's wife), he had Todd (who was then Benjamin Barker) shipped off to Australia to do hard labor. The exact charges are never specified, though it can be inferred that Turpin simply wrote it off as a simple charge such as thievery or assault, when Barker never committed a crime (so far as we know).

How should you play Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd the school version?
Well it all depends on your objective. To me, her objective is to get Sweeney Todd to marry her and forget his wife. She is the real villain of the story. She is a very manipulative character. She is also very smart. I would suggest looking at Stephen Sondheims lyrics for her songs to get a goof feel for her character. In her first song "Worst Pies in London" whe is very talkative and cannot stay on one subject for long. But in her next song "Poor Thing" she has already realized who Todd is and is telling the story of his wife, knowing that she will get him to reveal his identity to her. She seems scattered and disheveled but really she is smart, manipulative, and sly. The whole plot is really her own doing. She convinces Todd to kill many people to benefit her shop. She stops him from killing the judge when he had the chance. She is the villain. Todd is simply a man who is manipulated by her. If he would have killed the judge that first time, he would have gotten his revenge, finally met his daughter, and might have found his wife! She is the cause of everything. It's such a great part to play in an amazing show!
