Synopsis: A horror comedy rock musical, the story follows hapless florist shop worker, Seymour, who pines for co-worker Audrey. During a total eclipse, he discovers an unusual plant he names Audrey II, which feeds only on human flesh and blood. The growing plant attracts a great deal of attention for the previously struggling store.
Character Breakdowns:
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.
Vocal range top: G4 - Vocal range bottom: A2
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.
Vocal range top: D5 - Vocal range bottom: G#3
Mr. Mushnik: The seasoned owner of the failing East Side Flower Shop and Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative.
Vocal range top: F4 - Vocal range bottom: G2
Orin Scrivello: An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour. This role will also play a wino, a customer, radio announcer, Bernstine, Skip Snip, Luce and Patrick Martin.
Vocal range top: G4 - Vocal range bottom: G2
The Plant (Audrey II): Puppet. An anthropomorphic cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado, the plant has an appetite for human flesh that is appeased by Seymour. Puppeteer doubles as other sizes of the plant.
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.
Vocal range top: G4 - Vocal range bottom: G2
Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon: The trio are Black street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality.
Vocal range top: F5 - Vocal range bottom: Ab3
