Casting Star Speaking Roles for Sweeney Todd Production

(scroll to dotted line for audition information)

SWEENEY TODD
Our Life, You and I; The Return of Benjamin Barker

Based on the fanfiction "Our Life, You and I" by MotorcycleChickenSmile. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4550788/1/Our_Life_You_and_I

Rated R for graphic bloody violence and mild language.

SYNOPSIS: An extension of the story that never was, "Sweeney Todd, Our Life You and I; The Return of Benjamin Barker" will be an animated series directed by WishingOne. Based on the wildly reviewed FanFiction "Our Life, You and I" by MotorcycleChickenSmile, "The Return of Benjamin Barker" takes place immediately after Judge Turpin's murder scene at the barbershop. With the exception of the fact that Lucy Barker did succeed in killing herself with arsenic before Sweeney ever returned to London, the series will follow original ST cannon. Sweeney Todd's purpose is complete; getting revenge for his lost family. But what happens when he attempts to revert to a natural life and the demons of his past continue to torment him, particularly a ghost thought to have died in the prison walls of Australia? Follow him and the original cast as they struggle through a chain of events that will lead them into startling adventures and unimaginable situations.

**NOTE**
I don't care if you are a male trying out for a female part of a girl trying out for a boy part, audition for whatever you like. Just make sure you "sound" like whoever you are auditioning for!

Sweeney Todd - Benjamin Barker
Requirments - Male, Singing a Plus (though there will hardly be any singing.)
Directors Note: Whoever is chosen to play Sweeney Todd must also be the voice of Benjamin Barker as well. I know that in the movie Benjamin Barker has a "silent role", but in this story he will be appearing frequently. I always imagined him sounding like Victor from "Corpse Bride."

Audition Lines (Sweeney Todd) -
No! He knows! He'll go running to the law the moment he's free, and it'll be your head as well as mine, Mrs. Lovett!

Why haven't you made away with the judge and beadle the way you have with all the others?

Singing Lines -
...And my Lucy lies in ashes...and I'll never see my girl again...

...sleep now...the untroubled sleep of the angels...

(Benjamin Barker) -
I can't shake the feeling that...that I've done something, something awful...

I can't find them...I...I think I may be ill, ma'am...I can't think straight...


Mrs. Lovett
Requirments - Female, Cockney Accent, Singing a Plus (though there will hardly been any singing)

Audition Lines -
Oh, you know our Mr. T...'e likes 'is privacy. I tried to talk 'im into stayin' down 'ere with us, but he wont 'ear nothin' of it. No, wed be best jus' to leave 'im be. Now be a good boy n' run out to the market for me...were nearly all out of bakin' powder.

Singing Audition Lines -
Nothings gonna harm you, darling ... not while I'm around...


Daniel Northing
Requirments- Male, South London Accent, Stutters Often
Audition Lines-
W-Well...sir...that is...Beadle, sir...we...we've found no trace of anyone in the house.

Well...n-no, sir, but you see they do char, and...well...to be frank, we cant distinguish them from anything else, if there are any.
