A "venus fly trap" named Audrey II is found and cultivated by an insecure botanist in a flowershop. Seymour appreciates the attention it attracts because he is trying to impress Audrey, the girl he loves. When Audrey II develops a carnivorous appetite, Seymour finds himself feeding the plant human flesh, and the situation spins out of control.
Seymour Krelbourn (tenor / high baritone, 20s, Low A - high G)
Insecure, naive florist clerk. Sweet and well-meaning. Secretly in love with Audrey.
Audrey (Soprano, 18 - 30, Low A - high D)
Sweet, vulnerable, insecure version of a "dumb blond." Very bad self-image. Dreams of a "picket fence" life.
Mr. Mushnik (Low G to High Eb, 35 - 50)
Owner of an East Side florist shop. Nasty at first, then obsequious.
Audrey II (Bass, age unimportant)
Voice of the big, scary plant. Motown-type sound.
Orin (Baritone/Bass, 20 - 35)
A sadistic, pretty-boy dentist. Egotistical and chauvanistic. Looks like a greaser, thinks like an insurance salesman, and talks like a radio announcer.
Crystal, Ronnette, & Chiffon (mezzo, 16 -25)
three teenage (traditionally black) street Ronnettes who provide a running commentary on the action.
