AUDITIONS: Sweeney Todd

  • ACT I, Inc. 81 Peeples Valley Road Southeast Cartersville, GA, 30121 United States (map)

Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and attacked 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.

NOTE: AUDITIONS ARE CLOSED AND BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
This production is amateur in nature. No pay will be offered.

WE ARE ONLY CASTING INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD. THANK YOU!

Auditions will be held in 15-minute increments on the evenings of May 13th and May 15th. If all spots fill, we will open an additional window.

Those auditioning will only attend one appointment. Auditions will be held in front of the production team.

At your audition, please present:
- a 1-2 minute monologue, prepared in advance, that demonstrates your take on a chosen character from the show. Please do not do a monologue from Sweeney Todd. We would like to hear your version of the accent you'd bring to a potential casting.
- a song selection that is at least 1 minute in length but no more than 2 minutes. You should bring recorded accompaniment; no live accompaniment will be available at auditions. You may include an accent in your performance if you choose. Please do not sing anything from Sweeney Todd. (Selections from Sondheim are perfectly acceptable, but you may also sing something else.)

We do not have specific visions in mind for these roles, but we do want to see what you're able to bring to them. Don't be afraid to take a decisive risk.

Even if you do not have a specific role you'd like to play, we recommend making specific choices in your audition material to show us what you're capable of bringing to the show. Sweeney Todd is a unique musical, and we'll be looking for creative interpretations.

There is no dance call for this audition.

For those unable to attend one of the two audition dates, we are also accepting a video submission until midnight on May 15th. Please be sure to have recorded your video before submitting your audition form.
