The Off-Broadway revival of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer, will now continue through March 8, 2020, at the Westside Theatre. The hit production, which began previews September 17 ahead of an October 17 opening, was previously extended through January.
Beginning January 21, Gideon Glick will officially assume the role of Seymour from fellow Tony nominee Jonathan Groff, having previously filled in for his former Spring Awakening co-star for a two-week engagement earlier this month.
