Johanna and Anthony - The Lovers of "Sweeney Todd" Quiz

Answer: She is at her balcony as he walks by

As Anthony is walking in London, he looks up and sees a beautiful woman and asks the beggar woman who she is. (see "Ah Miss")

Although Johanna is indeed Sweeney's daughter, Anthony, and even Johanna, is not aware of this.

Answer: A cage of birds

After he sees that Johanna had been admiring the birds from her window, he buys one for her from the bird seller and gives it to her. However, they don't have time to talk since the judge interrupts them and sends Anthony off.

Answer: Green Finch, Linnet Bird, Nightingale, Blackbird

"Green Finch and Linnet Bird/ Nightingale, Blackbird/ how is it you sing" is the first line of the song. Then later, she sings "Ringdove and Robinet/ Is it for wages/ Singing to be sold?"

Answer: His name

Anthony first reveals his name to her in "Ladies In Their Sensitivities", after she has agreed to marry him.

Answer: Judge Turpin plans to marry her.

"He [the judge] plans to marry Monday/ What shall I do/ I'd rather die"

She is also put into an insane asylum, but that is after their plans of marriage are accidentally revealed to the Judge.
She wasn't dying of AIDS, especially since hadn't been discovered yet. She never asks the judge for permission to marry him, since Anthony asks to marry her after she is told by the judge that he wants her to marry him. Anthony and Johanna plan to elope and get married on Sunday, before Judge Turpin and Johanna's wedding date, that Monday.

Answer: No

During "Kiss Me", Johanna worries about a noise she hears, thinking it is Judge Turpin at the gate. Anthony then must remind her that she doesn't even have a gate. May be hard to notice since it is Sondheim's style to have some quick and confusing music.

Answer: Disguises himself as a wigmaker

In the "Wigmaker Sequence", Sweeney gives Anthony the knowledge of a wigmaker so he can save Johanna. Mr. Fogg is killed, but it is Johanna who is behind the gun.

And faking their deaths is Romeo and Juliet, my dears.

Answer: France

Anthony sings to Johanna in the Final Sequence...
"Soon we'll be, soon we'll be gone
And sailing the seas
And happily, happily wed
In France."

Answer: By the sea/ By the beautiful sea.

"By the sea/ By the beautiful sea" is sung by Mrs. Lovett in her solo in Act II, "By the Sea", about how she wants to live with Sweeney by the sea.

"If I cannot fly, let me sing" is sung by Johanna in "Green Finch and Linnet Bird"

"I loved you even as I saw you" is from "Kiss Me", one of their duets.
