As we reported just yesterday, the iconic musical Little Shop of Horrors is getting an off-Broadway revival at NY’s Westside Theatre this coming Halloween season, and we’ve learned today that a re-imagined version of the musical is also coming to the Pasadena Playhouse!
THR reports today that George Salazar (Be More Chill) will star in the new take on the classic musical as Seymour, alongside Mj Rodriguez (“Pose”) as Audrey and Amber Riley (“Glee”) as the killer plant Audrey II. The musical is said to feature “some deliciously devious new twists: a brand new puppet concept for Audrey II, and a whole new take on Skid Row.”
“Our new electrifying production of Little Shop of Horrors will give our audiences the opportunity to see a show they know and love in a way they never have before. From a delicious new take on everyone’s favorite singing plant to the stunningly talented cast, this is sure to be a landmark theatrical event for Los Angeles,” said the Playhouse’s Danny Feldman.
Mike Donahue is directing, with book/lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken.
The full run is set for September 17-October 20.
