He would not be expected to audition.

Why is that?

(Not snarking -- genuine question since he's an almost entirely unknown commodity in the States).

He was nominated for best actor in a musical Olivier award, among others. While not known here, he is certainly not unknown to the casting directors and/or the producers and creative team, and his pedigree would make an "audition" unexpected (and in many cases turned down by an agent). Typically there would be a "meeting" but not a performance. I would compare it to Jonathan Groff in reverse, or similar to Gavin Creel.

I imagine his performance in Half a Sixpence could be interpreted as a rather extended audition for Barnaby.
