The Play "Little Shop of Horrors" Needs Performers

The company is holding auditions for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, please see the details below.
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED.

About the project:
One of the darkest musicals ever written, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is the unsettling tale of a Victorian-era barber who returns home to London after fifteen years of exile, to take revenge on the corrupt judge who ruined his life. While plotting his retaliation against the judge, Sweeney uses the tools of his trade to murder as many people as he can, while his business associate Mrs. Lovett bakes the bodies into meat pies and sells them to the unsuspecting public.

Additional info:
Those auditioning are encouraged to prepare a 16-32 bar Sondheim selection in the original production key. Accompanist will be provided, so please have properly marked sheet music. Auditionees will potentially be asked to do a cold reading from the script. Call back date and time will be announced closer to auditions.
Requests for an early audition for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street must be made no later than June 04, 2023.

Please apply if interested.

Charming but hot-tempered, ferocious yet vulnerable. Formerly a proud barber, a loving husband and a happy father, now consumed by loss and revenge after his wrongful fifteen year imprisonment, Sweeney has returned to London after escaping from prison to right the wrongs committed against him, his wife and his daughter. Strong baritone/bass who can whistle.

Sweeney Todd

An enterprising meat pie shop owner who will do whatever it takes to survive. She is in love with Todd and hopes that he'll forget the past and build a new life with her. At first shocked by Sweeney's bursts of violence, Lovett turns his desire for revenge into a profitable business venture. She is resourceful, ambitious, charismatic, and has great comedic timing. Mezzo with a belt. Speaks with a Cockney accent.

Nellie Lovett

A youthful sailor who helps Sweeney return to London and unexpectedly falls in love with Johanna. He is idealistic, romantic and a bit reckless. His passions sometimes get the better of his reason and his enthusiasm sometimes makes him unintentionally comical. Over the course of the show he awakens to the horrors around him and becomes disillusioned with London. Tenor. Speaks with a standard British accent.

Anthony Hope

A poor youngster apprenticed first to Pirelli and then to Mrs. Lovett. He is industrious and eager to please, with a good sense of humor. Uneducated, but innately clever and observant, Tobias responds quickly to the kindness of Lovett but grows increasingly suspicious of Sweeney. Tenor. Speaks with a Cockney accent.

Tobias Ragg

A lecherous public official who portrays himself as a sanctimonious authoritarian. He takes advantage of his position to imprison Todd, assault Lucy, and take Johanna as his ward. He is aware that what he wants and what he's done is wrong, yet chooses to ignore and push against his conscience. He lusts after Johanna. Bass/baritone. Speaks with a standard British accent.

Judge Turpin

A pompous public official who is deeply loyal to Judge Turpin. He possesses a dry, deadpan sense of humor and enjoys wielding his power. Tenor with strong falsetto. Speaks with a standard British accent.

Beadle Bamford

An eerie, poor soul living on the streets of London. She supports herself by begging and prostituting herself to sailors. She has occasional flashes of lucidity and distrusts Mrs. Lovett. She is the only one who sees what's happening but no one will listen to her. Mezzo. Speaks with a Cockney accent.

Beggar Woman (Lucy)

An Irish former employee of Sweeney's who has since developed a public persona as a flamboyant and flashy world-famous Italian barber. A charlatan who sells face medicine and challenges other barbers to shaving contests. Pirelli is charming, calculating, and over-the-top comedic. High tenor. Speaks in both Italian and Irish accents.

Seeking performers for the musical called "Little Heaven". 
Please, see the details below.

About the musical:
It's 1947- two years since the war that shook Europe to its core and changed the very course of history. In a sleepy Polish village, several stories become intertwined as the residents of Mael Niebo- an apartment complex for the impoverished and displaced- grapple with the horrors of the past and look towards the hope of the future. 
Junior Meier is a newspaper editor from Berlin whose overriding guilt for the small part he played in perpetuating the Reich's hateful message has hindered his relationship with his young and impressionable daughter. Maestro Covali- a Romani violin virtuoso- seeks to start his life anew after the devastating deaths of his young children. Catholic siblings Katherine and Joseph Worcheka discover what it means to be forgiving while embracing a new life free from the bonds of tradition. Willie Jenkins valiantly fights to change society's opinion of the downtrodden. 
Told from the perspective of The Peddler- a charismatic storyteller who knows everything about everybody- LITTLE HEAVEN is a story of hope, survival and the power of community.

MAESTRO COVALI

Baritone. A newspaper editor from a prestigious German family. Junior and his family are forced to flee to Poland due to father, Senior's, harmful involvement in the war.

JOSEPH WORCHEKA

Alto Belt.
A college student hailing from Chicago who has traveled to Poland in order to spread her message of peace through rallies and public displays. Willie is bright and confident; although she has the best intentions of all at heart, she does not truly understand the hardships which the people of Mael Niebo have faced.

WILLIE JENKINS

Soprano. The wife of a German military man who has been sheltered from the hardships beyond her upper-crust Berlin life. Rosa is a peacekeeper, but her friendship with Maestro Covali opens her eyes and leads her to overcome generational bias. Intelligent and well-bred. Motherly.
