re: Sweeney Todd

Indicate on the outside of the envelope if you are AEA.

Seeking:

Sweeney Todd/Benjamin Barker:

Bass/Baritone, 40s. A man consumed by revenge after his wife is kidnapped and raped, and he is wrongly convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Darkly cynical.

Mrs. Nellie Lovett:

Alto/Mezzo, Cockney Accent, moves well, 40s. An amoral, pragmatic seller of meat pies - takes practicality to a ridiculous level. She lusts after Todd. A very high energy role.

Joanna Barker:

Soprano, 18. Benjamin Barker's daughter, a ward of Judge Turpin. Beautiful and pure-hearted.

Anthony Hope:

Tenor, 20s. A good natured, optimistic & naive young sailor

Begger Woman/Lucy Barker:

Soprano. Barker's wife, who he believes to be dead. Schizophrenic personality ranging from pathetic to crudely suggestive.

Judge Turpin:

Bass/Baritone. A lustful, immoral, power hungry man. Twists the law to suit him.

Beadle Bamford:

Tenor. Judge Turpin's partner in crime. “A bully with a thin veneer of gentility.”

Adolfo Pirelli:

Tenor. A phony mountebank who claims to be “the king of the barbers, the barber of kings.” A very high tenor role that can also be played by a soprano in drag.

Tobias:

Tenor, 18. Pirelli's young, simple, but kind-hearted drum-beating assistant.
