Set in the 1950s, the show tells the story of Seymour Krelborn, assistant at Mushnik’s Flower Shop in downtrodden Skid Row, who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers a strange and exotic plant. In order to impress glamorous Audrey, the shop assistant he’s secretly in love with, he names it Audrey Two.

But Audrey Two has a mind of its own, and soon grows into a bad-tempered, foul-mouthed carnivore with an appetite that can’t be satisfied. Seymour must keep the meals coming to stop his prized plant from wilting, but how far is he willing to go to get the girl of his dreams?

Rhydian Roberts plays sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello. He rose to fame on ITV’s The X Factor and has sold in excess of a million albums worldwide. His many theatre credits include Grease, We Will Rock You, The War Of The Worlds, Jesus Christ Superstar and the 40th anniversary tour of The Rocky Horror Show. Rhydian has just completed his third solo UK tour and is a Classical Brit Award nominee.
