Sweeney Todd Callback Information
Thank you to everyone who auditioned for Sweeney Todd! We had a huge turnout: More than 60 people auditioned for the show. We saw many talented folks and had to make some difficult decisions about which actors to call back.
Below is a list of Actors Called Back Organized by Role. Everyone who is called back for a principal role will be considered for ensemble if not cast in a principal role (unless the actor declined to be cast in the ensemble). Actors who are cast in principal roles (except for Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett) will be ensemble members also. Actors called back for principal roles may be considered for other principal roles they are not specifically called back for.
Also below is the Schedule for Saturday November 2 and Schedule for Sunday November 3.
On Saturday November 2 we are seeing actors for the principal roles at the listed times. On Sunday November 3, all actors who are called back for principal roles on Saturday and all actors who are called back for ensemble only must attend a "Choral Music" session to be scheduled between 10:00 AM and 12:00 Noon. The purpose of the "Choral Music" session on Sunday is to determine your ability to negotiate the choral music (which is quite difficult and involved for this show).
Musical selections, sides, and specific instructions for the callbacks will be e-mailed to all actors who are called back. If you have any questions after you receive the e-mail, please do not hesitate to ask.
We request that all actors who are called back speak/sing in a British dialect. For Johanna and Judge Turpin: Standard British (a/k/a BBC British/Received Pronunciation). For all other characters: Cockney. For Pirelli: Phony Italian and Irish.
We tried to organize callbacks in the most efficient fashion as possible for everyone. However, if you are an actor being called back for more than one principal role, you may have to spend a good deal of time with us on Saturday. Thank you in advance for your patience and your cooperation.
