Canon Characters
All from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
~~Strike out~~ = claimed.
Reserved.
You can choose the Celeb.
VERY Important Character, needs lots of activity
*** means possible death of the character unless you consult an admin. (I would suggest consulting FIRST, then auditioning)

NOTE: if you audition for one of the main canons (as in one of the fairly important canons) we EXPECT activity! This doesn't mean sign on every day for hours upon end (but hey, if you do that'd be pretty amazing) but at least sign on every other day at the LEAST to ensure that you see if you have posts to write for people & whatnot.

If your audition is accepted, you may make the profile.

___________________________________________

~~SWEENEY TODD~~
[the demon barber of fleet street]
also known as Benjamin Barker before his unjust incarceration in an Australian prison for 15 years.
BEFORE HAND: there are four versions of the character we're allowing you to choose from, celebrity wise & such, to base Mr. Todd on.
Original Broadway Actors:
Len Cariou
George Hearn (this one scores points with Eliza, :P)
Revival:
Michael Cerveris (this, I'm sure, scores with Kate, xD)
Movie:
Johnny Depp

Or, you can always do a combo/mix, like... say, George Hearn appearance and Michael Cerveris voice (but since we're not doing music that may not work out... then again, barbers tend to sing don't they? So why not? Maybe your Sweeney is a bit more musical or something...), something like that.
___________

~~MRS. NELLIE LOVETT~~
[known for her dreadful meat pies; also sweeney todd's accomplice in his crimes]
___________

~~TOBIAS RAGG~~
YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE THE PLAY BY FOR TOBIAS RAGG
[the young boy who first works for pirelli, then mrs. lovett, but never trusts todd]
___________

***JUDGE TURPIN
YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE THE PLAY BY FOR JUDGE TURPIN
[a corrupt and depraved official, an upholder of justice who twists the system to serve his own ends]
___________

ANTHONY HOPE
YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE THE PLAY BY FOR ANTHONY
[a young man, befriended by todd on the voyage home ]
___________

JOHANNA BARKER
NOTE: although you can choose the PB, she MUST be blonde!
[sweeney todd's daughter, also the judge's ward]
___________

***BEADLE BAMFORD
[turpin's accomplice in his crimes]
___________

***BEGGAR WOMAN/LUCY BARKER
[the mad old crone (literally, she's quite off the rocker) with a filthy tongue whose cries go unheeded (little does everyone know she's a certain Benjamin Barker's wife...)]
___________

***PIRELLI
[the italian barber, sweeney's competition]
___________

OTHER:
Jonas Fogg, Customers, Citizens, etc., etc. They aren't very important, but do play a part in the story... even if it isn't a large one.

___________________________________________________

Now, if you plan to audition for any of these characters, this is what you'll need:

Code:
Name of the Character:
Version: [IE: stage, movie, revival]
Sample post WITH THAT CHARACTER:

PLEASE PM THIS TO AN ADMIN! We like it to be confidential if there's more than one person auditioning for a character.

Alright, that's it, you should be set to float for whatever character you choose. Just make sure you stick to my [Eliza's] gaudy awful color coding, it'll make things easier.
