She has appeared in the various adaptations of Sweeney Todd story, including Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the Broadway musical version by Stephen Sondheim. A baker from London's Fleet Street neighbourhood, Mrs. Lovett is an accomplice and business partner of Todd, a barber who is also a serial killer. She makes meat pies from Todd’s victims. Lovett's appearance, personality, first name, and ultimate fate vary among the numerous retellings of the Todd story in diverse media.
Mrs. Lovett in "The Great White Way"[]
Mrs. Lovett was a Sondhead strategist on General Trina Hutchinson's inner staff at the start of the Sondheim-Webber battle. On the woodland front, she was annihilated by a fireball thrown by Magical Mr. Mistoffelees, a Webberite feline commando. Lovett's death was swiftly avenged by The Wolf, who pounced on and ate Mistoffelees.[1]

Cammek once directed a brilliant play about a demon Berber and a mad cook. The general viewing public did not appreciate the greatness of this piece of art.[2]
