The hit Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors welcomed three Broadway favorites to Skid Row earlier this month at the Westside Theatre.

Jordan Fisher (Hamilton, Sweeney Todd, Dear Evan Hansen, Hadestown) and Tony winner Nikki M. James (The Book of Mormon, Suffs, Les Miserables) stepped into the roles of, respectively, plant shop workers Seymour and Audrey March 6, while three-time Tony nominee Andy Karl (Groundhog Day, Rocky, On the Twentieth Century) took over the part of Dr. Orin Scrivello, D.D.S. March 10.

To celebrate the arrivals, an opening-night party was held March 18 at Miss Nellie's. Guests included Andrew Rannells, Rory O’Malley, Michael Greif, Michael R. Jackson, Ainsley Melham, and Elsa Keefe. Check out photos from the celebration in the gallery below.
