Nick did HAMILTON as a bridge gig before starting LSOH, so him doing LSOH before CHESS makes sense AND helps him build his profile a bit for the revival.

Also, the man is an EXCELLENT Seymour and you would be foolish to sleep on a chance to see him. I’ve said it many times before that I’ve seen him in such a wide variety of roles and I’m convinced there is nothing that this man cannot do.

Just an FYI - All side view tickets (in every row) for Nick & Madeline’s 3 week run are only $51 (including fees)

That's a really good deal, I see that it's not selling incredibly well. Madeline is most known for her tv work but she was wonderful as Sally, hopefully good word of mouth will spread during their run.

I low key hoped the prices would drop since most of the tickets were $100+, save for some $79 seats that have absolutely NO room. Now I don’t have to worry about constantly losing the lottery.

The prices do go back to normal after Nick leaves, but I’m curious who they have coming in alongside Madeline, because I feel like they need to announce soon in order to start driving sales.

Went back this afternoon.

Nick is really in excellent comedic form here. He doesn’t get many chances at comedy so, again, I highly endorse you take this return as a chance to see him before he goes into CHESS. Chatting with him after, he also is definitely amenable to keep returning whenever they need him because he’s having a blast.

Madeline Brewer has a gorgeous voice, but she is still finding her confidence in the character a bit. It’s only her second performance and she can only grow from here, but it seemed like she was dipping her toe into the sillier aspects of Audrey. I also have a slight affinity for Sherie Rene Scott in the role because she was just so blowsy and campy and understood the assignment.

Reg Rogers is a dream Mushnik. He’s just cracked out, exasperated, loud, and leaning into the Borscht Belt aspect of Mushnik. He was like Vincent Gardenia on cocaine and I loved it.

Jeremy Kushnier, on the other hand, was very disappointing. He was good during his big dentist schtick at the end of act one, But he paled in comparison to Teddy Yudain and James Carpinello

Well, the tickets just went on sale on TodayTix starting from $72. Haven't received any email, just a pushed notification from the app.

Essentially just three weeks for Christopher. Probably just a filler for whoever is coming in in September."

When does Thomas Doherty start? Tuesday? Friday?

The fifth, Friday

Okay. Who's playing Seymour Tue-Thur then?

Andrew Durand is taking over as Orin starting 11/25.

As usual with this production, god-tier casting.

Agree 1,000%. Durand is inspired and truly, they've been consistently knocking it out of the park. Def due for another trip to Skid Row soon!

At first I thought he was playing Seymour, but I'm not disappointed.

After his run as orin he should play seymour, it would be hilarious

[quizking101]

He’s definitely someone who could play both roles, but I think he will make a meal out of the gleeful sadism that Orin gets away with.

Here's a very random question:

What happened to the downstairs space at the Westside Theatre? It doesn't appear to have had a tenant since LSOH began. Has LSOH rented out the whole building? Is there a sound bleed issue between the spaces? Does LSOH use that space for something during the show?

(not that I'm mourning the downstairs space and its horrible sightlines/columns, it just dawned on me that it's been empty since 2019)

Emmy Award-winning singer, television star and recording artist Joshua Bassett (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) will make his New York stage debut as Seymour, and Tony Award Nominated, original cast member Joy Woods (Gypsy, Six) will return as Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors beginning Friday, December 19, 2025, at The Westside Theatre. The two will play the roles for 10 weeks only, through March 1, 2026.

Saw the new cast last night and let me just say,.. Joy Woods is a freaking STAR.

How is Joshua Bassett? I was a big fan of his until he found religion and seemed to walk back his own coming out. 

[HBP]

Posted: 12/22/25 at 9:08pm

Joshua found some new laughs and his acting was great. Didn’t feel as over the top as some Seymours of late. Same with Joy’s Audrey. My favorite of all the Audreys I’ve seen.  
 

Joshua seemed nervous when singing. If you’re a fan of his I might wait until later in the run when he settles into it.

He’s sweet but very tentative when talking and singing. Oddly, throws himself into the physical comedy though. 
 

EDIT: Oddly *and charmingly*. If not quite redeemingly. Hopefully he warms into it more.

Looks like Jordan Fisher will be the next Seymour based on their Instagram post.

Andy Karl as Orin. I’m stuck on Audrey.

Might be Nikki M James
