Seeking to following roles:
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, Late 30s. Barker’s wife, who he believes to be dead. Schizophrenic personality ranging from pathetic to crudely suggestive.
Judge Turpin:
Bass/Baritone, Early 50s. A lustful, immoral, power hungry man. Twists the law to suit him.
Beadle Bamford:
Tenor, Late 40s. Judge Turpin’s partner in crime. “A bully with a thin veneer of gentility”.
Adolfo Pirelli:
Tenor, 30s. 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.
