If you have any questions please email auditions@prescottpark.org PLAY SYNOPSIS Feed the need for musical hilarity with this delicious sci-fi smash about a man-eating plant, featuring the 2003 Broadway orchestrations. A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre-goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” – after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination! This version of the wildly produced classic features the original libretto we all know and love paired with the 2003 Broadway orchestrations. CASTING Prescott Park Arts Festival will take an inclusive approach to casting our show. Any actor can play any role, and there are no requirements or restrictions other than to perform the book, music and lyrics as written. While the gender of the characters and ensemble members, however, must remain as written in the script (listed here in accordance with MTI’s requirements), our casting will be inclusive and performers of all genders beyond the binary are encouraged to audition for the role they feel best suits them.
