If 3 audition notices for Little Shop posted today on actorsequity.org are any sign, the production will begin previews in September, open in October, under the director of Jerry Zaks!
this is good new, but i it is also sad because of all the wonderful actors that were already in the show. i hope they dont recast the leads!!!!! do you think they will???
Who knows? I have a feeling Hunter and Alice will get in--but who knows? To be honest--a dorky Houston boy like me hopes and dreams to have the chance to be cast as an unknown--but more realistically--to just be the understudy--or 3rd swing--or wino #5 or SOMETHING! lol
O wow, this is great news!! Little shop on again, woo-hoo! But an open casting??!?! I hope they cast Hunter, Alice, Billy, and Lee again!!!! I can't wait for the cd if that's the case!!
i think we should all write to the producers saying that we want the same cast in the leads!!!!!! :) i agree with you robactorguy i would love to hear alice, hunter and billy sing these songs on the cast recording!!!!!!
well--open casting is probably a formality--they are either looking to resign the Florida cast or find new stars. OR, maybe a dorky, extremely talented unknown....lol
Oh that sucks, it's like a dream come true to return to the show you created, only to play another character, like Andrea McArdle did Star to Be in Annie film. Poor Lee, if that's the case... LITTLE SHOP PICS
no--lee wasn't necessarily the problem, but he prob won't be attached if Connie is not involved. Who knows who Zaks wants replaced? Who knows if they are really looking to cast all those parts? If anything, they are looking for the understudies and swings. If anything, they are obligated by Equity to hold an audition for the show--all those auditioning could be doing so in vain. =)
