Little Shop of Horrors is set to crash into the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre this summer.
In a groundbreaking production, it will be an all-Irish cast!
Earlier this year, it was announced that David O’Reilly would bring the West End star power and comedic flair to the role of the hapless florist Seymour Krelborn.
Opposite him, Jacqueline Brunton, a rising star of musical theatre, takes on the role of the sweet and soulful Audrey.
And now we know our entire cast.
Johnny Ward (Fair City, Love/Hate) will return to the stage in the upcoming production.
Garry Mountaine (The Lobster, Game Of Thrones), Kenneth O’Regan, Michael Joseph, Rachel Gaughan, Amy Penston, Micheal Lovette, James Deegan, Zoe Talbot, Eimear Barr, and Cian O’Riain will also join the cast.
The role of the Street Urchins, the soulful and sassy trio who guide us through the mayhem of Skid Row – will be brought to life by three phenomenal performers: Ghalia Conroy, Aoife Dunne, and Precious Abimbola. Ghalia, hailing from East Wall, is the latest in a family lineage of Irish acting greats and graduated from Fontys Dance Academy in Holland in 2022.
Aoife, one of Ireland’s most successful musical theatre exports, continues to go from strength to strength on London’s West End and Off-West End, with credits including Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends and Close-up: The Twiggy Musical.
Precious, a rising star from Cork, is a graduate of the BA Musical Theatre programme at MTU Cork School of Music and will step into the spotlight, marking an exciting debut on the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre stage.
