Auditions continue for AOP's summer production of Stephen Sondheim's masterwork SWEENEY TODD.

We are looking for people who can sing/act/read music for not only townspeople, Lords, Ladies, Policemen, Lunatics, etc., but specific roles that have not been cast, which include: 

ANTHONY HOPE: A young man who returns to London and sets his heart on Johanna, 

Todd's daughter.
C3 - F#4 (Tenor)

BEGGAR WOMAN: A deranged and schizophrenic woman with a secret.
A3 - F#5 (Alto)

JOHANNA: Judge Turpin's young, lovely ward and Todd's long-lost daughter.

She is innocent and aching to free herself from Turpin's grasp.
C4 - Bb5 (Soprano)

JONAS FOGG: The owner of Fogg's sanitarium.

JUDGE TURPIN: A corrupt and lecherous official who hides in the guise of sanctimonious honor.
B2 - F4 (Baritenor). There are passages in "Pretty Women (Part I)" and other songs where TURPIN sings down to an F1. (Can be sung an octave higher, if necessary.)

PIRELLI: A flamboyant Italian with a secret past. A charlatan and rival barber.
G#2 - F#4 (Tenor) Formally trained. There is a high A in "The Contest", but A, an octave lower, is indicated as ossia. Therefore, having the high A is desired, but not
crucial.

THE BEADLE: A pompous public official whose real loyalty is only to the
corrupt Turpin.
Bb2 - F4 (Tenor)
There is a high C (C5) in "Kiss Me (Part II).

All roles are paid. Please sign up for auditions Sunday, January 30^th, by calling 882-6574 or sign up at www.azonstage.org.
