Jonathan Groff, Tammy Blanchard and Christian Borle are headlining an off-Broadway run of Little Shop of Horrors at the Westside Theater in Hell's Kitchen this fall. The revival will be directed by Michael Mayer (Burn This), with Groff as Seymour, Blanchard as Audrey, and Borle as the dentist. The rest of the cast is still to be announced.
Previews begin September 17th, with an opening October 17th. The run is currently set to end on November 24th. Groff will miss two weeks of the run in November (perhaps for Frozen II promo?); see Telecharge for details on the dates he'll be out.

Her replies were filled with supportive comments and hopes that the perpetrator had been caught by an usher. Photography is prohibited during all Broadway shows.
