Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know? — Page 22

Just caught the show and wanted to share my thoughts! The chemistry between Jinx and Corbin was lacking, which made it hard to fully connect with their characters. While Audrey's voice was good, there was something missing in terms of that wow factor that makes a performance memorable. On the bright side, the facial expressions and comedic timing were spot on for Jinx, adding some humor to the mix.

Corbin's performance, although technically impressive, felt a bit robotic at times. Having seen a previous cast with Jeremy Jordan and Joy Woods, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast in the overall energy and emotional impact.

Joy Woods managed to evoke genuine emotion in her role, unlike what I experienced this time around. Overall, an enjoyable show with standout moments but lacking the emotional depth I was hoping for.

Sarah Hyland just started her run this past Tuesday and has missed at least 3-4 shows already (yesterday and today)—anyone have thoughts as to why that would happen? Doesn’t sound like it’s a sickness issue based on what the box office indicated.

Hyland’s had a lot of well publicized health issues over the years. (Including two liver transplants if I recall correctly) Quite the trooper, and I’m amazed that she is able to attempt a live theater schedule like this. Modern Family modified their blocking, shooting schedule etc for her. Rough way to spend your teens/20s esp in the public eye. Hope she’s ok!

Is that Andrew’s singing face?

Tickets are on sale through January of 2026.  I was curious too about new casting.

do you mean 2025?"

Nope, I mean January 2026.  If you go to Telecharge.com you’ll see tickets are on sale until January 4, 2026.  

They’re ending their runs soon. Surprises nobody knew has been announced. Maybe they’re having a hard time finding people.

That seems pretty late for the new cast announcement.

I read on Twitter, so you know it MUST be true, that Ellen Greene may step in for Audrey for the holidays? 

I can't find the tweet now, so I may have made it up in my post-Debate Night haze.

This was a Sweaty Oracle rumour, and it was suggested the show would then close in January 2025.

Would she be able to perform all the shows ? Her voice was exhausted at the second performance at city center, but let me tell you it was such a magical event. 

According to the sleuths on Twitter, it looks like the odds are on Nicholas Christopher & Sherie René Scott based on the silhouettes.

Christopher seems to be more correct, while Scott is slightly more ambiguous.

The silhouette and the two clues (bloody hands, Hamilton reference) sure suggest Nicholas Christopher but he seems too mature/strapping for the part and hes IN Hamilton so I dont get it?

What would the "waiting for you" reference be re Sherie Rene Scott?
