How far can love and ambition take you? Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s award-winning musical Little Shop of Horrors follows Seymour, a shop assistant at a failing downtown New York florist. He is head-over-heels in unrequited love with his co-worker Audrey, and unappreciated by his boss, Mr Mushnik. All looks hopeless until Seymour reveals his strange and interesting Plant, named Audrey II, which has a certain requirement - in order to live, it needs human blood. Seymour sacrifices Orin, Audrey’s abusive dentist boyfriend, and Mr Mushnik for what he believes is the greater good. Success, fame and love suddenly come his way, but to what cost?
Our production aims to firmly root the show in the turbulent period of 1960s America. We want to reveal the honest, ugly and dark side of the musical with its depictions of domestic abuse and racial inequality, while leaning into its camp comedy. Think neon lights, smoke pollution, dirty streets and a ginormous, beautifully terrifying showstopping plant.
How to audition: Please prepare a 1-2 minute song of your choice. Auditions will take place on Wednesday 22nd October and Thursday 23rd October (Week 2) in the Schwartzman Centre.
