Some new faces are headed to Skid Row this summer—Andrew Barth Feldman (Dear Evan Hansen) and Sarah Hyland (Modern Family) will step into the roles of Seymour and Audrey in Off-Broadway's Little Shop of Horrors May 28. Also joining the company will be Some Like It Hot Tony nominee Kevin Del Aguila, succeeding Stephen DeRosa as Mr. Mushnik beginning May 14.
Feldman and Hyland will succeed current stars Corbin Bleu, who returned to the company as Seymour after starring in the production opposite Constance Wu last year; and two-time RuPaul's Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon, who is the first drag queen to play Audrey in a major production of the Howard Ashman-Alan Menken musical. Bleu and Monsoon will depart the production May 26.
The current cast of Little Shop of Horrors also features James Carpinello as Orin Scrivello, Aaron Arnell Harrington as The Voice of Audrey II, Tiffany Renee Thompson as Ronnette, Morgan Ashley Bryant as Crystal, and Khadija Sankoh as Chiffon plus Camryn Hampton, Michael Iannucci, Weston Chandler Long, Jeff Sears, Teddy Yudain, Zakiya Baptiste, Noel MacNeal, Johnny Newcomb, and Christine Wanda.
