This fabulous feel good funny show is currently playing Manchester Opera House.
Clare Buckfield is Audrey
Alex Ferns is Orin The Dentist
Sylvester McCoy is Mushnik
Seymour is played by a relatively unknown guy called Damian Humbley.
Clive Rowe is the voice of Audrey 2.
Christopher Ragland (ex Jo cast of 2002 - Levi/cover Pharaoh) is part of the ensemble.He is funny as a dentist patient supposedly having his teeth removed without anastetic(spl?). ;D
For anyone who doesn't know the story - its about a shy guy (Seymour) working in a florists shop on skid row.He fancies Audrey who also works there but has a sadistic boyfriend Orin who is a dentist.The shop has no customers and is in danger of closing down until one night there's a thunderstorm and Seymour discovers a plant which feeds on human blood and grows as a result.The shop becomes an overnight success.
Seymour kills Orin for abusing Audrey and feeds him to the plant which he's named Audrey 2.
Mushnik the owner of the shop discovers what he's done and Seymour tricks him into looking more closely at Audrey 2 so it eats him.
Audrey also gets eaten and Seymour tries to save her but fails so he makes the plant eat him too so they can be together.
This is just as good as the one in the West End last year.Go see it. ;D ;D ;D
The only down side definately not suitable for babes in arms so I fail to understand the reason why a woman thought she would get away with sitting on the front row cradling a baby this afternoon!!!
Thankfully theatre staff moved her before the show started.
Bonus point - it's only 2 hours long.
