CHARACTERS
Sweeney Todd/Benjamin Barker - Bass/Baritone
A man consumed by revenge after his wife is kidnapped, and he is wrongly convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Darkly cynical.

Mrs. Nellie Lovett - Alto/Mezzo, Cockney Accent
An amoral, pragmatic seller of meat pies. Takes practicality to a ridiculous level. She lusts after Todd. Very high energy role.

Joanna Barker - Soprano, 18
Benjamin Barker’s daughter, a ward of Judge Turpin. Pure hearted.

Anthony Hope - Tenor, 20
A good natured, optimistic and naïve young sailor. 

Beggar Woman/Lucy Barker - Soprano
Barker’s wife, who he believes to be dead. Schizophrenic personality ranging from pathetic to crudely suggestive.

Judge Turpin - Bass/Baritone
A lustful, immoral, power hungry man. Twists the law to suit him.

Beadle Bamford - Tenor, Can play piano if possible
Judge Turpin’s partner in crime. “A fully with a thin veneer of gentility”. 

Adolfo Pirelli - Tenor
A phony mountebank who claims to be “the king of the barbers, the barber of Kings.”

Tobias - Tenor, teens
Pirelli’s young, simple, but kind-hearted drum-beating assistant.

Ensemble players are also required.

All parts in our community theatre shows are non-paying and non-equity.
