<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">AUDREY Bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret
love of Seymour's life. She has poor self-worth and education, but incredibly
good looks and a sweet and vulnerable demeanor. </span><br>
<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">CRYSTAL, RONNETTE and CHIFFON Female street
urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Hip and smart, these girls are
the only ones who have a grip on reality. </span><br>
<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">MR. MUSHNIK The seasoned owner of the failing East
Side flower shop and Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and
manipulative. </span><br>

passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is
targeted by Seymour. </span><br>
<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">SEYMOUR KRELBORN An insecure, put-upon florist's
clerk and eventual hero. He is a genuine, well-meaning man who is taken for
granted because of his clumsy ways and poor social skills. </span><br>
<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">THE PLANT (AUDREY II) Puppet. An anthropomorphic
cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado, the plant has an appetite for
human flesh that is appeased by Seymour. Puppeteer doubles as other sizes of
the plant. </span><br>
<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">VOICE OF THE PLANT An actor/vocalist located
offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart 'villain.' A funky
Rhythm and Blues voice is best. </span><br>

<span class="textexposedshow">Derelict, Skid Row Occupants, Audrey II
