Theatre Company in search of a Demon Barber for exciting new
musical production!
Wakefield based theatre company, Diva Productions, are on the search for local talent to join them in a thrilling new production of SWEENEY TODD: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Following the success of recent sell-out productions of Ghost: The Musical and Elf: The Musical, the company is looking for strong singers, actors and dancers to join them in a innovate, dark and immersive retelling of this popular Sondheim musical which will be staged in-the-round at Unity Hall in Wakefield in November.
“We are looking for local talent to join us for this bloody and brilliant musical in a variety of roles.” says Artistic Director Andrew Ashley. “Sweeney Todd is a one-of-a-kind musical, that is rarely performed regionally, so this is a great opportunity for performers to get involved in what we promise to be an exciting and innovative telling of this chilling tale. We support diverse casting and welcome performers of all genders, ethnic backgrounds and body type to audition for ALL roles. ”
One of the darkest musicals ever written, Sweeney Todd, tells the infamous tale of an unjustly exiled barber who returns home to Victorian London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who ruined his life. 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!
Open auditions will be held on Sunday 17th March 2024 in Ossett.
