The hit Off-Broadway revival of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's Little Shop of Horrors—which celebrated its fifth anniversary at the Westside Theatre with the unveiling of an “Audrey II” statue September 19 in Times Square—welcomed its newest set of Skid Row's unlikely lovers October 22.

Tony nominee Sherie Rene Scott (Everyday Rapture, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Aida) and Nicholas Christopher (Sweeney Todd, Hamilton, Miss Saigon) stepped into the roles of, respectively, Audrey and Seymour. They succeeded Sarah Hyland and Andrew Barth Feldman, who played their final performances September 29.

The Off-Broadway cast also features Tony nominee Stephen DeRosa as Mushnik, James Carpinello as Dr. Orin Scrivello DDS, Major Attaway as The Voice of Audrey II, Tiffany Renee Thompson as Ronnette, Daria Pilar Redus as Crystal, Morgan Ashley Bryant as Chiffon, as well as Camryn Hampton, Michael Iannucci, Weston Chandler Long, Jeff Sears, Teddy Yudain, Melissa Victor, Noel MacNeal, Johnny Newcomb, Jon Hoche, Hailey Thomas, Christine Wanda, and Savannah Lee Birdsong.
