Characters

Note: BIPOC actors are encouraged to apply for any role they would like, not just characters with a stated ethnicity! We also welcome all to apply for a role within or outside of their gender identity. If called back, you are welcome to change the octave of your part to support your vocal range, but we cannot change the key of any song due to the nature of our licensing agreement.

SEYMOUR - Mid-twenties and perhaps balding a little. Our insecure, naive, put-upon, florist's clerk. Above all, he's a sweet and well-meaning little man. Despite his lack of social skills, he is not a stereotypically silly, prat-falling nerd.

• Range: A2 - G4

AUDREY -  Seymour's coworker, the bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of his life. She has poor self-worth and education, but incredibly good looks and a sweet and vulnerable demeanor.

• Range: G#3 - D5

MR. MUSHNIK - Their boss. A failure of an East Side florist. A jaded man trying to keep his failing business afloat, who seldom smiles but often sweats. We will be casting a Jewish actor for this role.

• Range: G2 - F4

ORIN - Audrey's abusive boyfriend. A tall, dark, handsome dentist with a black leather jacket and sadistic tendencies. Think of an egotistical pretty-boy-all got up like a greaser but thinking like an insurance salesman and talking like a radio announcer.

• Range: G2 - G4

THE PLANT (AUDREY II) - An anthropomorphic, flytrap-like plant that hungers for blood. A street-smart, funky, conniving villain with a R&B voice that oozes charisma and confidence. Typically portrayed with a series of puppets, the Plant will be an onstage human actor for this production. The actor in this role should own the stage with expressive movement and scene-stealing villainous swagger. Will likely involve heavy drag-inspired makeup.

• Range: G2 - G4

CRYSTAL, RONNETTE, and CHIFFON - Three female street urchins who are participants in the action and a Greek Chorus outside it. They're young, hip, smart, and the only people in the whole cast who really know what's going on. In their "Greek Chorus" capacity, they occasionally sing to the audience directly. And when they do, it's often with a secret smile that says: "we know something you don't know."  We will be casting Black actors for these roles.

• Range: Ab3 - F5

"EVERYONE ELSE" - A single actor playing the majority of the side characters in the play, including First Customer, Radio Announcer, Mr. Bernstein, Mrs. Luce, & Skip Snip. Sharp, witty, and versatile.

• Range: E2 - E3
