He buys it, names it Audrey II and displays it in the shop suddenly attracting the customers the shop has been missing.

9 roles
(Tenor - playing age of mid 20’s) Our insecure, naïve, put-upon, florists’ clerk hero. An insecure, put-upon 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 top: G4 Vocal range bottom: A2
(Mezzo-soprano - similar playing age to Seymour) The bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like secret love of his life. If you took Carol Channing, Marilyn Monroe, and Goldie Hawn, removed their education and feelings of self-worth, dressed them in spiked heels and a short black dress, and then shook them up in a test tube to extract what’s sweetest and most vulnerable – that’d be Audrey. Strong acting/comedy and singing. Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: G#3
The defeated owner of Mushnik’s Flower shop. The failure of an East Side florist. The accent is more that of middle-class New York than of Eastern Europe. Mushnik seldom smiles but often sweats. Strong character actor. Vocal range top: F4 Vocal range bottom: G2
An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour. This actor will play multiple roles including: a customer, Patrick Martin, Mr. Bernstein, Mrs. Luce. The ultimate character actor. Vocal range top: G4 Vocal range bottom: G2
Vocals provided by an actor offstage, lip-syncing to the movements of the puppets. His voice is a cross between Otis Redding, Barry White, and Wolfman Jack. Think of the voice as that of a street-smart, funky, conniving villain – Rhythm and Blues’ answer to Richard the Third. Looking for a soul, jazz, and blues sound. Strong character singer with ability to vocal run. Vocal range top: G4 Vocal range bottom: G2
CRYSTAL, RONNETTE, CHIFFON – The street urchins of Skid Row, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Hip and smart, they are the only ones who have a grip on what’s really happening. Lots of comedic timing, and vocal runs. Will be asked to demonstrate vocal runs at callbacks. Vocal range top: F5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
