CASTING NOTE: In reference to the character descriptions below –The characters in
this show are on the binary and written with he/him or she/her pronouns as you will see
in the following descriptions. However, we seek to be as inclusive as possible and ask
gender non-conforming, gender queer, transgender and non-binary actors to list on the
audition form the roles they most identify with. We also list race/ethnicity when specific
to the character, but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. Unless otherwise
noted, roles will be open for consideration of actors of all ethnicities.
 

CHARACTER LIST
Seymour – 20s-30s, perhaps balding a little. Our insecure, naïve, put-open, florist’s
clerk hero. Above all he’s a sweet, well-meaning little man. He is not a silly prat-falling
nerd. And therefore, should not be played as the hero of a Jerry Lewis film. (Gender-
Nonconforming/Non-Binary Actors are welcomed and encouraged to submit for this role
with the understanding that the character identifies as a man.)

Audrey – 20s-30s. The bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of his life. If you
took Judy Holiday, Carol Channing, Marilyn Monroe, and Goldie Hawn, removed their
education and feelings of self-worth, dressed them in spiked heels and a low-cut black

dress, and then shook them up in a test tube to extract what's sweetest and most
vulnerable-that'd be Audrey. (Gender-Nonconforming/Non-Binary Actors are welcomed and encouraged to submit for this role with the understanding that the character
identifies as a woman.)
Vocal range top: D5/Vocal range bottom: G#3

Mr. Mushnik – 40s-early 60s. Their boss. A failure of an East Side florist. His accent, if
he has one, is more that of middle-class New York than of Eastern Europe. He seldom
smiles but often sweats. (Gender-Nonconforming/Non-Binary Actors are welcomed and
encouraged to submit for this role with the understanding that the character identifies as
a man.)
Vocal range top: F4/Vocal range bottom: G2

Orin – 30s-40s. A tall, dark, handsome dentist with a black leather jacket and sadistic
tendencies. He is not, however, a leftover from the movie version of Grease. Think
instead of an egotistical pretty-boy-all got up like a greaser but thinking like an
insurance salesman and talking like a radio announcer. The actor who plays him also
plays A Voice not unlike God's, Wino #2, Customer, Radio Announcer, Mr. Bernstein,
Mrs. Luce, Skip Snip and Patrick Martin. (Gender-Nonconforming/Non-Binary Actors are
welcomed and encouraged to submit for this role with the understanding that the
character identifies as a man.)
Vocal range top: G4/Vocal range bottom: G2

Crystal, Ronnette & Chiffon – Teens-30s. Three black female or gender fluid street
urchins who function as participants in the action and a Greek Chorus outside it.

They're young, hip, smart, and the only people in the whole cast who really know what's going on. In their "Greek Chorus" capacity, they occasionally sing to the audience directly.
And when they do, it's often with a "secret-smile" that says:

"we know something you don't"

​

The Plant (Audrey Two) – An anthropomorphic cross between a Venus flytrap and an
avocado. It has a huge, nasty-looking pod which gains a shark-like aspect when open
and snapping at food. The creature is played by a series of four increasing large
puppets, manipulated by one Puppeteer. (Who also plays Wino #1 in the first scene.)
The first time we see The Plant, it is less than one foot tall. The last time we see it, it fills
the entire stage.

The Voice of the Plant – Provided by an actor on an offstage microphone. It is
important that this actor have clear visual access to the puppets onstage, so that he can
provide accurate lip-synch. The sound is a cross between Otis Redding, Barry White,
and Wolfman Jack. Think of The Voice as that of a street-smart, funky, conniving villain
-Rhythm and Blues; answer to Richard the Third.
