About the Show

Returning to its Off-Broadway roots, this new production stars Corbin Bleu and Constance Wu.

Following an award-winning run in 2019, the hit cult musical is back Off-Broadway with an all-star cast, currently including Corbin Bleu ('High School Musical'), and Constance Wu ('Crazy Rich Asians').

Performed in an intimate 270-seat setting, this horror-sci-fi-musical comedy brings audiences up close and personal with the cast and characters, including Seymour, Audrey, and, of course, the carnivorous, megalomaniacal plant at the center of the story.

The 1982 musical is by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, best known for their musical contributions to Disney movies like 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Beauty and the Beast.' This production, directed by Michael Mayer ('Spring Awakening'), won Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Drama League Awards for Best Musical Revival.
