Voice;
(C.C. is singing. She has clearly been practicing, but as an inexperienced singer, she misses several beats, and her pitch is off at the ends of several lines. Still, her general poise comes across, as well as her natural smugness, but she doesn't quite capture the pining of Mrs. Lovett.)
Ooh, Mr. Todd!
I'm so happy!
I could
Eat you up, I really could!
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd?
What I dream
If the business stays as good?
Where I'd really like to go,
In a year or so?
Don't you want to know?
(She stops.)
Practicing is going well, I should think. (She sounds smug - she thinks she's better than she is, but she's also working to prove she can do this, mainly to avoid being mocked and because she hates failing, despite her laziness.)
