Theatre 29 will hold open auditions for the musical comedy satire “Little Shop of Horrors.” With the audition specifics, here’s Rebecca Havely…
Director Gary Daigneault will cast “Little Shop of Horrors” at Theatre 29 open auditions Monday, August 12 at 6 p.m. The cast of characters includes Mr. Mushnik, the greedy owner of a failing flower shop in New York City. Seymore Krelborn a well-meaning but clumsy and insecure florist’s clerk, with a green thumb. Seymore’s secret love Audrey is an incredibly good-looking bleached blond, with poor self-worth and a strong belt voice. Orin Scrivello is an egotistical dentist; he’s Audrey’s sadistic boyfriend, this actor also plays several bit parts through-out. The man-eating plant named “Audrey 2” is a giant puppet who requires one actor to manipulate it from the inside as well as an off-stage actor/singer with a funky Rhythm and Blues voice. The trio of doo-op singers Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon are young, hip, street-smart urchins who act as a Greek chorus.
Bring a karaoke non-vocal backing track of a Broadway show tune on your mobile device; and dress prepared to dance. “Little Shop of Horrors” will run at Theatre 29 weekends from October 4 through 27 and November 2-3 at the Barstow Performing Arts Center.
