The Handmaid's Tale Emmy nominee Madeline Brewer will take on the role of Audrey in the hit Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors—making her New York stage debut—beginning August 12 at the Westside Theatre.

Brewer, seen as Sally Bowles in the West End revival of Cabaret, will be joined by Nicholas Christopher (Jelly’s Last Jam, Sweeney Todd), who is returning to the role of Seymour, also on August 12, prior to his forthcoming leading role in the Broadway revival of Chess. Christopher will play the down-on-his-luck plant shop worker through August 31; he previously played the role this past winter opposite Sherie Rene Scott.

In addition to The Handmaid's Tale, Brewer was seen as Bronte in the final season of Netflix’s You, Dawn in Hustlers, Raiman in Black Mirror, Miranda Cates in Hemlock Grove, and Tricia Miller in Orange Is the New Black.

Elizabeth Gillies and Graham Phillips will play their final performances as, respectively, Audrey and Seymour, July 27. Between July 29 and August 10, the role of Audrey will be played by Morgan Ashley Bryant, and Seymour will be played by a rotating cast of Little Shop all-stars: Jeff Sears (July 29–August 3), Bryan Fenkart (August 5-6), Weston Chandler Long (August 7-8), and Johnny Newcomb (August 9-10).

Continuing in the cast are Drama Desk nominee Jeremy Kushnier (Footloose, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Dr. Orin Scrivello DDS, Tony nominee Reg Rogers (The Dazzle, Merrily We Roll Along) as Mushnik, Major Attaway (Aladdin) as The Voice of Audrey II, Hailey Thomas as Ronnette, Savannah Lee Birdsong as Crystal, and Morgan Ashley Bryant as Chiffon, as well as Weston Chandler Long, Christine Wanda, Aveena Sawyer, Jeff Sears, Michael Iannucci, Jonothon Lyons, Noel MacNeal, Johnny Newcomb, Jon Riddleberger, Mecca Hicks, Bryan Fenkart, Khadija Sankoh, and Kevin Del Aguila.
