> CASTING NEEDS ‹ ALL ROLES OPEN
> Sweeney Todd/Benjamin Barker (bass-baritone):  Protagonist.  Morose and
> brooding, a barber by profession.  Returned to London after 15 years of unjust
> incarceration in an Australian penal colony to seek revenge first on the
> corrupt judge who sent him there, and then simply on whomever proves
> unfortunate to end up in his shop.
> Mrs. Nellie Lovett (alto):  A cheery and chatty but wholly amoral shopkeeper
> whose premises and pies are coated in dust and plagued by flies.  Would like
> to be more than merely a landlady to Mr. Todd.
> Anthony Hope (baritone/tenor):  A young, naïve sailor befriended by Todd on
> the voyage home.
> Johanna Barker (soprano):  A beautiful, young girl, Todd¹s daughter, but now
> claimed by Judge Turpin as his own ward.
> Tobias Ragg (tenor):  A simple young lad who works first for Pirelli, then for
> Mrs. Lovett.  Never trusts Todd.
> Judge Turpin (bass):  Antagonist.  A corrupt and depraved official.  An
> upholder of justice who twists the system to serve his own ends.
> Beadle Bamford (tenor):  Turpin¹s right-hand man and accomplice to his crimes.
> Beggar Woman (soprano):  A mad crone with a filthy tongue whose cries go
> unheeded.
> Adolfo Pirelli/Danny O¹Higgins (tenor):  A faux-Italian (truly of Irish
> descent) and flashy barber who attempts to blackmail Todd.  As a youngster,
> worked for Todd for a brief period.
