Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Full Animated Musical)
Clare Chan for Featured Ensemblists (Spoken)
Character Description: Various characters in different scenes. Roles include: Bird Seller, Men being Shaved (2), Man getting Tooth Pulled, Random Man, Passer-by (After Johanna Quartet), and Mr. Fogg.
Casting Notes: There are several spoken roles in this show (Mr. Fogg, the bird seller, etc) that need to be done but are only in one or two scenes. If you audition for these, you don’t have to audition for ensemble, but it is preferable if you are confident in your singing abilities. If you do, please send it in the ensemble audition area. While all these roles are written male, I am fine with females auditioning for any of them EXCEPT the men being shaved and Mr. Fogg. I will pm you if you get cast here.
Introduce yourself! Say your name, pronouns, and what role you would like to be considered for. If you would like to say your age you can but it’s not required.
Women: Read for Bird-Seller. Men: Read for Mr. Fogg.
BIRD-SELLER: We blind 'em, sir. That's what we always does. Blind 'em and, not
knowing night from day, they sing and sing without stopping, pretty creatures. Have
pleasure of the bird, sir.FOGG: We are one happy family here, sir, and all my patients are my children, to be corrected when they're naughty, and rewarded with a sweetie when they're good. But to our business. [As they enter the inside of the asylum, lights come up behind the scrim wall revealing the shadows of the inmates. Mr. Fogg, as in a shadow play, grabs one female by the hair, pulling her head up for ANTHONY's inspection] Here is a charming yellow, a little dull in tone perhaps, but you can soon restore its natural gleam. [He drops the head, moves to a man and grabs his head up by the hair] Now here! A fine texture for a man and, as you must know, sir, there is always a discount on the hair of a male.
