Little shop of horrors revivial cast?

My school is doing Little Shop of Horrors as the spring musical and it made me think of who I would cast in a revival. Post your thoughts below!
Seymour-Jeremy Jordan
Audrey-Katie Rose Clarke
Mr. Mushnik-Sam Kelly
Audrey II-Michael Leon-Wooley
Orin-Stark Sands

Danny Burstein - Mushnik
Gabriel Ebert - Orin / et al
Laura Benanti- Audrey

I feel like Jeremy Jordan is to "cool" to pull it off. All of the other seggestions are great though. Especially Magan Hilty and Laura Benanti!

I feel Little Shop would be the perfect vehicles for Zachary Levi & Megan Hilty who are more and more making a name for themselves. As for Audrey 2, Mushnik, Orin, who knows. There's a lot of casting possibilities with these roles. However, I kinda see Christopher Seiber as either Mushnik or even Orin. With his personality and comedic timing, I'm more than positive he could pull off either roll.

Does anyone think there's a chance of an actual revival either on or off broadway in the near future? Missed the 2003 one and would love to see a professional production.

Seeing how the 2003 revival was a complete debacle (in my opinion), I will go out on a limb and say that it's going to be a long time before you see another Broadway revival of LITTLE SHOP. It needs to stay off-Broadway as that where it thrives and no celebrity, short of an A-list superstar, would bring in enough business for a show like this on Broadway.

Has there ever been a major production where Audrey II was voiced by a woman? Because I think a woman with a smokey lounge-y voice or someone like Lea DeLaria could be great.

The show doesn't need to be on Broadway. It was never meant to be in such a big house.

Stage it somewhere like Barrow Street, and it'll really shine.

Sharon D Clarke has voiced Audrey II, and I'm sure it was as amazing as everything else the woman lends her talents to.. So in that 'Ghost" vein i'd put forward Da'Vine Joy Randolf for the gender bending revival.

Andrew Keenan-Bolger? What, is it Mushnik's Skid Row Florist / Crunch?

Seymour is not a role for a leading man, which Jeremy Jordan very much is. This is a show written for character actors.

I said he was too "young looking". Not too young. Reading...it's kind of a thing. But thanks for the ALL CAPS to prove your point, it made a huge difference!

Let me start by stressing that I LOVE Laura Benanti like my own flesh and blood but does she have the belt for the role? She can certainly act it and I'm sure she can sing the role but I want my Audrey to have a belt like Megan Hilty.

If we're gender bending Audrey II my vote goes to Morgan James. That girl's voice can do anything. Come to think of it she'd make a great Audrey someday.

When I imagine a female Audrey II, I see it starting off as a hand puppet flower growing into a plantlike feminine figure covered in flowers, vines, and barbs. Much more humanoid than the original so it can play off sexual tension lol. If that makes any sense?

As I've stated in multiple threads I'd much prefer a live tv broadcast on NBC some Halloween. My dream cast:

Seymour - Joseph Gordon Levitt
Audrey - Megan Hilty
Mushnik - Kelsey Grammer
Orin - Jack White
Audrey II - Cee Lo
Crystal - Amber Riley
Ronette - Syesha Mercado
Chiffon - Uzo Aduba
