Auditions – What You Need to Know

​

Please read this entire message carefully. The information below is important!

​

Thank you for your interest in auditioning for Little Shop of Horrors! This show is a fun mix of satire, blending science fiction, ‘B’ movies, musical comedy, and even a twist on the Faust legend. It’s a cult classic that’s both hilarious and heartfelt—even when things get wild! We’ll be performing the 2003 Broadway Revival version, featuring fresh musical arrangements.

 

 

About the Show

​

Little Shop of Horrors tells the story of Seymour Krelborn, a shy floral assistant who discovers a strange new plant he names “Audrey II,” after his coworker crush. This R&B-singing, foul-mouthed carnivorous plant promises Seymour fame and fortune—as long as he keeps feeding it blood. But soon, Seymour uncovers Audrey II’s alien origins and its plan for global domination!
