** Patti Lupone has a great moment in the ''Live in Concert'' edition. Just as Todd wants to test the chair's...delivery system...Lovett is torn between the customers screaming for "More pies!" and Todd's insistent "Psst"s culminating in Lovett shouting "WAIT!" before going over to her place. Lupone really plays up Lovett's exasperation, rolling her eyes and stomping into position.

*** Hearn's portrayal especially looks hilariously perplexed by his inability to find a rhyme for that one. Doubly so when he looks at Lupone as if to say "What the HELL do you expect me to say in response to THAT?!"

*** Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford would ''lose it'' at that line, with Ashford literally rolling around on the floor in a circle and Groban seemingly getting his laughter under control - only to burst out laughing ''again'' after repeating ''"Privates!"'' and moving his arms in a grand sweeping gesture. The orchestra would stop playing, too, leaving Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett feeling very much like two friends hanging out by themselves who know they just made an ''extremely'' stupid joke and there's no one else around to hear it, with each's laughter only making the other one laugh ''more.''

** It gets even better in the 2023 Broadway revival, where Sweeney is absorbed in cleaning his pipe while Lovett is clambering all over him, even all but giving him a lap dance. At one point she startles him when she claps her arms and squawks loudly to imitate a seagull; a few minutes later when he realises she's about to do it again, he groans and cringes just before she does. Finally when she's fantasizing about having a seaside wedding, she pulls him off the sofa and on his knees beside her, clasping his hands between hers, while he gives her a 'wtf are you ''doing''' look and fights to free himself.

* During "God, That's Good!" there's a hilarious role reversal; for once ''Sweeney'' is clamouring for Mrs. Lovett's attention because he wants to show off his brand new barber chair, and work out the signals they'll give each other when he has a new corpse to send to the cellar, while she clearly isn't interested and wants to get back to her customers. Once she's departed, Sweeney beatifically declares that he has a new 'friend', aka the chair.
