SEEKING:

SEYMOUR KRELBORN: (Male Identifying, 25 – 35, Any race) 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. Tenor. Vocal range top: G4 and bottom: A2.

AUDREY: (Female Identifying, 25 – 35, Any race) 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. Mezzo. Vocal range top: D5 and bottom: G#3.

MR. MUSHNIK: (Male Identifying, 55 - 65) The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative. Baritone. Vocal range top: F4 and bottom: G2.

ORIN SCRIVELLO: (Male Identifying, 30 – 40, Any race) An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour. Will double as multiple character cameos in the show. High Baritone. Vocal range top: G4 and bottom: G2.

THE VOICE, AUDREY II: (Male Identifying, 22-50, Any race) A vocalist located offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart 'villain.' A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is best. Bass/Baritone. Vocal range top: G4 and bottom: G2.

THE PLANT, AUDREY II: Puppeteer of the 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.

CRYSTAL: (Female Identifying, 20 – 35, Black) Skid Row resident, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, Crystal, Ronnette, and Chiffon are the only ones who have a grip on reality. Mezzo.
