Mr. Adolfo Pirelli (''Signor Adolfo Pirelli'' in Italian), also known as Daniel O'Higgins or Davy Collins, is a fictional character from Stephen Sondheim's musical ''Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street''.〔 "THEATER; A 'SWEENEY TODD' OF MERIT - New York Times", ''New York Times'', July 17, 1983, webpage: (NYT-83 ). 〕 He is a supporting antagonist in the story and a rival barber to Sweeney Todd. He is eventually killed by Todd after he threatens him with extortion.〔 "Attend the Tale: Sondheim Musical "Sweeney Todd" Hits Big", Playbill.com, December 21, 2007, webpage: (PB-21 ). 〕 ==Character overview== Pirelli is first introduced as an Italian barber who is "all the rage" in Victorian London. He is very theatrical and dresses in extravagant clothing. Pirelli often abuses his young apprentice, Tobias Ragg, slapping him across the face for the slightest infraction, and often for no reason at all. Pirelli claims to have shaved the King of Naples and the Pope, arrogantly referring to himself as "the King of the Barbers and the Barber of Kings." His real name turns out to be Daniel O'Higgins, and he was Sweeney Todd's apprentice as a boy. Pirelli knows Todd's true identity as Benjamin Barker and threatens to expose him unless Todd pays him half of his profits. Todd kills Pirelli. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adolfo Pirelli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
