Christine Ebersole, Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble, June 2008
Sweeney Todd is coming back to Orlando March 6 – 7, 2009 with Davis Gaines (FSU Alum, former Broadway Phantom) in the title role, the Bob Carr as the venue and the Orlando Philharmonic on drums. This was announced earlier in the year.
They're holding auditions for "a company of singer-actors, ages 20-60, for principal and ensemble roles" Saturday, November 15 from 10a – 3p at The Orlando Opera, 1111 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando, 32804. Appointments are required. Google for more details.
But here's the big question: Are they looking for a Mrs Lovett?
Mad Cow Theatre was in talks back in March to bring Broadway star Christine Ebersole in to play the role, but no announcement has been made about her participation yet. I hope she's doing it. But if they don't know by now, I doubt it's happening. But you never know. We can hope!
