14 roles
Lead. East Side Flower Shop clerk in Skid Row. He is a somewhat insecure, a little naïve, somewhat put‐upon orphan florist’s clerk, plant aficionado – and our hero. He’s sweet and well‐meaning, somewhat shy, awkward; lacking in social skills. Seymour becomes the owner of the carnivorous plant, Audrey II. Comic timing a must but not a silly, prat-falling nerd. Some dance but not a lot. Vocal requirement – Tenor.
Lead. Secret love of Seymore’s life, she is honest and attractive, has very low self‐esteem, dresses a little trashy, attracts the wrong guys, has big dreams, and is self‐sacrificing. Another clerk in Mushnik’s flower shop. Lacking in education and self‐esteem, she suffers from feelings of hopelessness at her situation in life (in a cheery sort of way), including her abusive relationship with her boyfriend, Orin Scrivello. Less dance than Seymour. Vocal requirement – Low A to belted D.
Supporting Role. May be sung offstage and may also be the Puppeteer who controls the increasingly growing plant from another planet. Street smart, funky, conniving villain. Vocal requirement – Bass. (May also play other roles).
CRYSTAL, RONNETTE AND CHIFFON - Supporting Roles. Three female street urchins who function both as participants in the action and as a Greek Chorus outside it. They’re young, wise-cracking, street smart, hip, smart, and soulful and the only characters who know what’s going on. Together, they are a top notch 50s/60s girl group. They are our story tellers and very much drive the action. The most dance and movement in the show. Vocal requirement – Low Alto to High Belt. Must be able to harmonize.

Supporting Role. Owner of the flower shop; the boss. A failure of a lower East Side florist. About to throw in the towel. Grouchy. Opportunistic but with some ethics. He seldom smiles but often sweats. Vocal: Baritone Low Ab to Top F.
Supporting Role. A dark, handsome, sadistic, laughing gas inhaling, dentist with a motorcycle, and black leather jacket. Think of Orin as an egotistical pretty‐boy, indulged by his mother and all got up like a greaser but thinking like an insurance salesman and talking like a radio announcer. (The actor may perform other roles ‐ Wino #2, Customer, Mr Berstein, Mrs Luce, Skip Snip, and Patrick Martin and sing with ensemble). Vocal requirement – Baritone Low A to Top F.
