Casting the following roles:

SEYMOUR – Male Age 20-30. Any race/ethnicity. An insecure, put-upon florist's clerk and eventual hero. He is a genuine, well-meaning man who is taken for granted because of his clumsy ways and poor social skills. Vocal range: A2-G4.

​

AUDREY – Female Age 20-30. Any race/ethnicity. She has had a tough life growing up in the gutter. Character actress, secret love of Seymour's life. She has poor self-worth and education but is caring and sensitive under her strong demeanor. Vocal range: G3-D5.

​

MR. MUSHNIK – Male Age 35-50. Any race/ethnicity. The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative. Vocal range: G2-F4.

​

ORIN SCRIVELLO & Others – Male Age 25-35. Any race/ethnicity. An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour. Will also play other characters. Must be comfortable with switching characters quickly. Vocal range G2-G4.

​

THE PLANT (Audrey II) - Genderless Any age. Preference given to black actors. An anthropomorphic cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado, the plant has an appetite for human flesh that is appeased by Seymour. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart villain and the voice in Seymour’s head. Vocal range G2-G4.

​

CRYSTAL, RONNETTE, AND CHIFFON – Females Age 20-30. Black. Street urchins. The Greek chorus. They help move the story along as narrators. They are street smart and very aware of what is going on around them. Great vocal blend and solo sound a must. Vocal range AB3-F5.

​

We are committed to a diverse cast, as such people of any or no gender identity may be considered for any roles they wish to audition for.
