"I Knew I'd Be With You One Day"-- Anthony/Johanna Manifesto

[ladyairy.livejournal.com]

Title: I Knew I'd Be With You One Day
Author: ladyairy
Fandom: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Pairing: Anthony Hope and Johanna Barker
Spoilers: Some major spoilers for the stage musical and libretto, minor for the 2007 movie
Notes: This manifesto references the original stage production, and musical book by Hugh Wheeler. Some incidents were changed for the 2007 film, as well as, according to a friend who saw it, the revival with Patti LuPone.
Quotes with names in all caps (e.g. ANTHONY) are from stage directions from Hugh Wheeler’s book. Text in brackets (e.g. [meaning Johanna]) are notes I've added for clarification. Quotes in italics (e.g. “I have sailed the world/And seen its wonders”) are song lyrics. Plain quotes are spoken dialogue from the musical.
