Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audrey | Female | Caucasian | 25-30 | AUDREY [female] aged 25-35 Ideally late 20’s Mezzo with a belt Low A to High D The bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of Seymour’s life. A beautiful flower shop assistant with no feelings of self worth or formal education in a hot little number she bought on sale. Think of the sweetest person alive at their most vulnerable mental state |
| Seymour | Male | Caucasian | 25-30 | SEYMOUR [male] aged 25-35 Ideally 30 baritone-tennor Low A to High G Our insecure, naive, put-upon, florist’s clerk hero. Seymour is an insecure orphan with no prospects in life and no hope of success. Above all, he’s a sweet and well-meaning little man. Sincere |
| Mr. Mushnik | Male | White Eastern-European | 41-50 | MR. MUSHNIK [male] aged 40-60 baritone-bass Low G to High E flat A failure of an East Side florist who should have his blood pressure checked more regularly. Seymour’s only parental figure & Audrey’s boss. Jewish. He seldom smiles but often sweat |
| Orin Scrivello | Male | Caucasian | 31-40 | ORIN SCRIVELLO [male] aged 30-45 youthful baritone Egotistical, sadistic maniac with a professional license to drill away inside people’s heads. Thinks he is 10 years younger than he actually is |
| Crystal | Female | Any Ethnicity | 18-24 | CRYSTAL [female] aged 20-35 mezzo Member of the Ronnettes- a cardboard cut out greek chorus untouched by skid row. How does her hair stay so stylish |
| Ronette | Female | Any Ethnicity | 18-24 | RONETTE [female] aged 20-35 mezzo Leader of the Ronettes- Young, hip, smart they are the only people in the whole cast who REALLY know what’s going on. They participate, but seldom help the situation |
| Chiffon | Female | Any Ethnicity | 18-24 | CHIFFON [female] aged 20-35 mezzo Member of the Ronnettes- a cardboard cut out greek chorus in fabulous shoes and a killer dance routine. Sassy, larger than life and with attitude that makes you listen |
| Audrey II (The Plant - Puppeteer) | Male | Any Ethnicity | Any Age | AUDREY II PUPPETEER [male*] tenor-bass (we’d love to hear you sing too!) Strong upper body strength and endurance required for this mostly physical role manipulating a 6- foot puppet. *although if you’re physical able to handle the endurance/exhaustion and prepared to get profusely sweaty operating a gigantic puppet under 10 tones of prosthetic rubber, be my guest : |
| Audrey II (Voice) | Male | Any Ethnicity | Any Age | AUDREY II VOICE [masculine] baritone-bass with a belt A man-eating plant from outer space, the lovechild of a Venus Fly Trap and an Avocado. Audrey II’s voice resonates deep ominous tones of Orson Welles, commands like James Earl Jones but effortlessly rocks out like Ray Charles |
| The Player | 0 | Any Ethnicity | Any Age | THE PLAYER [Wino, Radio Announcer, Bernstein, Luce, Snip, Martin, others...] Age 25-60 ONE strong performer capable of presenting 10+ different characterisations populating Skid Row. A one-size-fits-all approach to casting. Energetic and versatile |
