<p><b>Seymour (Lead) </b>– Male presenting. Stage age: 20-35.</p>
<p>Shy, a bit clumsy, unsure of himself but does right by his people.
Meek. He started life as an orphan on Skid Row, but was taken in by his
current boss Mr. Mushnik. Taking care of plants and learning about them
are his joy. He is likable and well-meaning, but his naïveté often gets
him into sticky situations. Strong actor and singer. </p>
<p>Vocal range top: G4 – Vocal range bottom: A2</p>
<p><b>Audrey (Lead)</b>– Female presenting. Stage age: 20-35.</p>
<p>Kind-hearted, a dreamer. She is stylish and attractive and uses her
beauty more as a means of survival. She has a warped sense of self worth
from a painful past, but it does not define her. A life lived in Skid
Row has not tarnished her ability to dream a way out of a desperate
circumstance. Strong acting and singing; comedic timing skills a plus. </p>
<p>Vocal range: bit of belt Vocal range top: D5 – Vocal range bottom: G#3</p>
<p><b>Mr. Mushnik (Supporting)</b> – Male presenting. Stage age: 40-65 </p>
<p>A struggling flower shop owner with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
Nosy, father figure to Seymour. Brutally honesty and hard on his
employees. Profit-driven. Beneath his rough exterior is a man just
trying to survive and who truly cares about Seymour and Audrey. Strong
character actor with some singing. </p>
<p>Vocal range top: F4 – Vocal range bottom: G2</p>
<p><b>Orin Scrivello/The Dentist (Supporting) </b>Male presenting, Stage age: 20-40</p>
<p>Audrey’s Dentist boyfriend. He is arrogant, self-satisfied and
abusive. Handsome and can light up a room with his toxic charm.
Constantly asserting his masculinity and abusing power in attempts to
maybe hide his own vulnerability. His sickness lies in deriving pleasure
in causing things pain and abusing nitrous oxide. Strong character
actor and singer who can also deliver a bit of a comic edge. Ability to
play other minor roles such as Mr. Bernstein, Mrs. Luce, Skip Snip and
more. </p>
<p>Vocal range top: G4 – Vocal range bottom: G2</p>
<p><b>The Plant (Audrey II)</b> Male or Female, 16+ </p>
<p>A non-speaking puppeteer (experience not required) who manipulates
various stages of the plant as it gets bigger. Strong physical acting
skills and the ability to portray character and emotion purely through
movement. Has stamina to operate the large, heavy final puppet. </p>
<p><b>Voice of the Plant (Audrey II) </b>Any gender identity. Any age</p>
<p>Actor/vocalist located offstage. Larger than life, their voice
carries wondrous weight and presence. Foul-mouthed. Smooth,
Sweet-talking and street smart. They ooze the rhythm and blues. The
Plant is very persuasive and excels at getting what it wants. Strong
character actor and singer. Has excellent funky R&B vocal chops. </p>
<p><b>Crystal, Ronnette, and Chiffon aka The Street Urchins</b> 3 Female presenting performers of color, 18+</p>
<p>Street-styled girl group with infectious energy and confidence. They
are the light and soul of Skid Row who can sing well and know it. They
are the no-nonsense driving force of the story; essentially a funky
Greek chorus who comment on the action and have the strongest grip on
reality. Strong harmony singers with excellent movement skills that can
synchronize well within a group. </p>
