An insecure, put-upon florist's clerk and eventual hero. He is a genuine, well-meaning man who is taken for granted because of his clumsy ways and poor social skills.
Audrey
Bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of Seymour's life. She has poor self-worth and education, but incredibly good looks and a sweet and vulnerable demeanor.
Mr. Mushnik
The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative.
Orin Scrivello
An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour.
Audrey II
A wise cracking, anthropomorphic plant who is initially presented as a blood thirsty, manipulative, and ultimately destructive force, driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh.
Puppeteer
Person to physically operate plant puppet.
Crystal, Ronnette, Chiffon
Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon are Black street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality.

WAYNE HOPKINS
Description: An orphaned American boy is thrown into the whirlwind of a magical world. Endearingly awkward, enthusiastic, and determined to prove he’s important—even if he’s a Puff.
Performer Needs: Strong emotional arc, comedic timing, and underdog charm.
OLIVER RIVERS
Description: A brainy kid who would rather be solving equations than learning spells. Prone to panic but deeply loyal.
Performer Needs: Dry humor, introverted energy, great contrast to Wayne.
MEGAN JONES

Performer Needs: Emotional depth, sarcasm, with a big transformation.
NARRATOR
Description: Witty, omniscient storyteller with a flair for the dramatic. Guides the audience through the chaos with sass, heart, and impeccable timing.
