Default Audition Research

I have my first non-school/church related audition coming up. It's an open call at a some what prominent community theatre, and I'm auditioning via cold reading. My question is, since I know the name of the play, and it's all in my age range, should I look it up and prepare to get into either of the possible roles, or would that ruin the whole fresh outlook on my potential character thing. I realize that the casting director/s is/are looking for a specific role, but what if I had researched all the possible parts, recognized the character immediately, and nailed it, but the director/s wanted a fresh spin on the character?

In short- To research, or not to research, that is the question.
