Description
Thea company is holding auditions for “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and looking for performers, please see the details below.
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED.
About the project:
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!
