BREAKDOWN

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

SEEKING:

SEYMOUR KRELBORN - (Male-identifying, 20s-30s, any ethnicity) A nebbishy, under-confident/over worked orphan who lives and works in a run-down flower shop on Skid Row--spends his time doing menial tasks and dreaming of his co-worker, Audrey. A skilled and dynamic singer with comic chops and great personal appeal.

AUDREY - (Female-identifying, 20s–30s, any ethnicity) Seymour’s sweet and vulnerable co-worker, who is all heart beneath her bleached blonde hair and overly suggestive outfits. Aspirational and surprisingly astute, Audrey battles low self-esteem which makes it impossible for her to leave her abusive boyfriend, even while she dreams of a better life far from him and Skid Row. A skilled and dynamic singer, with a powerhouse belt and great comic abilities.

MR. MUSHNIK - THIS ROLE IS CAST. - (Male-identifying, 50s-60s, any ethnicity) Seymour’s beleaguered and often agitated boss. A brash, older New Yorker and quasi-father figure, whose desperation drives him to put profits over people. Comedic character man who sings and moves well.

ORIN SCRIVELLO, DDS/AND OTHERS - (Male-identifying, 30s-40s, any ethnicity) Audrey's abusive Dentist boyfriend. Insanely egotistical with sadistic tendencies and a maniacal passion for leather and pain. Comedic who sings and moves well.

CRYSTAL, RONNETTE AND CHIFFON - (Female-identifying, African-American, Latina, Asian Teens) The tough, young street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Energetic and street smart with sharp senses of humor, great voices and stellar moves. Confident and unafraid to speak the truth. Seeking dynamic and charismatic singer with powerhouse vocals. Strong movers.

AUDREY II - (Male-Identifying, any age/ethnicity) Off-stage vocalist, voicing the unique and mysterious plant that Seymour discovers during a total eclipse of the sun. Foul-mouthed. Smooth, Sweet-talking and street smart. The Plant is very persuasive and excels at getting what it wants. Strong singer. Has excellent, funky, R&B vocal chops.

THE PLANT/AUDREY II - (Any gender/age/ethnicity) A non-speaking puppeteer who manipulates various stages of the plant as it gets bigger. Strong physical skills and the ability to portray character and emotion purely through movement. Must have the physical stamina to operate the large, heavy final puppet.
