Seeking Roles for:

• Seymour Krelborn: Lead, Male, 25-35 Vocal range: A2-G4; an insecure, put-upon, florists’ clerk who becomes the hero of the story; above all, he is a sweet, genuine well-meaning man who is taken for granted because of his clumsy ways and poor social skills.
• Audrey: Lead, Female, 25-35 Vocal range: sensitive belt, G#3-D5; the bleached-blond secret love of Seymour’s life, also employed at the shop; she has a damaged sense of self-worth and no education; she is vulnerable to a fault; think Judy Holiday in “Born Yesterday,” with a dash of Marilyn Monroe and Goldie Hawn.
• Mr. Mushnik: Supporting, Male, 45-65 vocal range: G2-G4; middle-aged, old enough to “adopt” Seymour as his son; strong character actor with some singing; Seymour’s boss and father figure; he owns a failure of a run-down East Side florist shop; under a gruff and blustery exterior he cares about Audrey and Seymour; a good man at heart, but overcome by the temptations of wealth.
• Orin Scrivello the Dentist: Supporting, Male, 25-40 vocal range: G2-G4; strong character actor and singer; Audrey’s handsome, dentist boyfriend, he is narcissistic, arrogant, and abusive to Audrey; in spite of all this, he is a charmer in a “bad boy” kind of way; must have a comic edge without going to caricature. This actor may also play other minor roles such as Radio Announcer, Mr. Bernstein, Mrs. Luce, Skip Snip, and Patrick Martin.
• Voice of the Plant (Audrey II): Supporting, Male (or Female), 18+ vocal range: G2-G4, rock, rhythm and blues style; open age; strong character singer; a sweet-talking, street-smart, rhythm and blues version of the devil; provided by an actor on an offstage microphone, lip-syncing to the movements of the puppets.
• Crystal, Ronnette, and Chiffon: Supporting, Female, 18 – 30s, vocal range: three-part tight harmony, Ab3-F5; strong harmony singers with good movement skills; these three “street urchins” function as participants in the action (when they have dialogue) and a Greek chorus commenting and narrating the action (when they sing); they’re young, hip, smart, and the only people in the cast who really know what’s going on, with a “we know something you don’t” attitude.”
• And ensemble!
