SUMMARY
An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!

AUDITION NOTES
Please prepare 16-32 bars of a Stephen Sondheim song for auditions. You may bring noted sheet music for a piano accompanist (whom will be provided) or you may bring a recorded track to sing to. Due to the vocal demand of the show, we may ask you to sing scales or vocal exercises.

Schedule your Audition Time here:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F49ABAB2CA2F4C16-62244747-sweeney#/

When you come to auditions, please have your schedule and conflicts ready.  As much as possible, we try to build a rehearsal schedule around conflicts of the cast and staff. Conflicts for some rehearsals are permitted, but not for Tech Week or performances. Conflicts can contribute to casting of the show. Actors of all backgrounds are able to play any part. Actors must be ages 16 and up. Rehearsal schedules are not finalized until after the cast has been chosen. The average rehearsal period is six to eight weeks before the show opens.

Some roles may require some level of physical intimacy/touch as multiple characters demonstrate physical comfort/affection with one another (such as an embrace or close proximity). Characters who engage in specific moments of physical intimacy and kissing are noted at auditions.
