Casting Teen Performers for "Little Shop of Horrors" Play

Insecure, naive, put-upon, florist’s clerk hero. Above all, he’s a sweet, and well-meaning little man. He is not a silly, prat-falling nerd, and therefore should not be played as the hero of a Jerry Lewis film.

The bleached-blond, billie-Dawn-like, secret love of his life. If you took Judy Holiday, Carol Channing, Marilyn Monroe, and Goldie Hawn, removed their education and feelings of self-worth, dressed them in spiked heels and a low-cut black dress, and then shook them up in a test tube to extract what’s sweetest and most vulnerable - that’d be Audrey.

Their boss; A failure of an East Side florist. His accent, if he has one, is more that of a middle class New York than of Eastern Europe. He seldom smiles but often sweats.

A tall, dark, handsome dentist with a black leather jacket and sadistic tendencies. He is not, however, a leftover from the movie version of Grease. Think instead of an egotistical pretty-boy - all got up like a greaser but thinking like an insurance salesman and talking like a radio announcer.

Provided by an actor offstage with a microphone. The sound is a cross between Otis Redding, Barry White, and Wolfman Jack. Think of The Voice as that of a street-smart, funky, conniving villain.

Three (or Six) street urchins who function as participants in the action and a Greek Chorus outside of it. They’re young, hip, smart, and the only people in the whole cast who really know what’s going on.

There are 8 roles in the show that have a vocal solo in parts of the show

May serve as a “Crew member in Costume” where you learn the music and Choreo for the show and also help with things like puppeteering the plant, big scene changes, etc.
