LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is about Seymour who works at a flower shop, attending a plant who he has named Audrey II (after the love of his life, Audrey). However, his plant is no normal plant and it needs a special food to grow. Roles available are listed below. For more information about auditioning please contact Scott Cooper at cooper.scott@spcollege.edu. The rehearsal schedule will be posted next to the costume shop door (SS 103) by November 15 and be available at the auditions.
We are also looking for theater technicians (spot light operators, sound and light board operators and backstage hands) for this production.
Roles Available:
Seymour Krelborn—- An insecure, put-upon florist’s 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. Male, 20-30 yrs old Vocal Range: Tenor
Audrey— Bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of Seymour’s life. She has poor self-worth and education, but incredibly good looks and a sweet and vulnerable demeanor. Female, 20-35 yrs old Vocal Range: Soprano with Belt
Mr. Mushnik— The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and Seymour’s nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative. Male, 55-65 yrs old Vocal Range: Tenor 2 (will be possibly double cast with Scott Cooper)
Orin Scrivello —An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey’s abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour. Male, 30-40 yrs old Vocal Range: Baritone with some high notes
Voice Of The Plant— An actor/vocalist located offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart ‘villain.’ A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is best. Female, 20-25 yrs old Vocal Range: Alto with belt. (will be possibly double cast with Scott Cooper)
Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon (x2)are street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality. I will cast 6 girls (of any ethnic type) to cover these roles. Female, 20-35 yrs old Vocal Range: Ab3 – F5
Puppeteer: the actual manipulator of the Audrey II puppets. Will need a strong back as well as be a good physical actor. Male or Female (any age) no singing required.
Chorus:
There really isn’t a chorus to this show BUT there are customers, agents, etc and some group numbers so I will be looking to break these characters out to let everyone have a moment in the sun. I hope I can cast up to 15 students in this production.
