The west end production is being advertised now at my local theatre (The New, Cardiff) but i've hunted high and lo for any news or other dates for this and cant find anything. Are any other theatres advertising this or is there any casting news?

I'm thinking it will avoid the Playhouse, no way it could sell well in there. However might go for one of the smaller Edinburgh theatres, fingers crossed. And I think it would probably go to the Kings too. Well, hoping tongue.gif

It should be the Menier Chocolate Factory production. When the show closed in London last year it was said that it was to tour. I hope it comes to Glasgow so I can enjoy this production again (although it'll be hard for any female performer to better Sheridan Smith's performance as Audrey).

Sheridan Smith was amazing, what a voice. Who knew she could act?

So glad this is going to tour. Missed it in town sad.gif and wit all the stuff being pull it's good to see that there are things being added to the circuit. Put me in coach for Bromley!

My school is putting on little shop of horrors hopefully next year, it would be great if the tour came near us so we could go and see it on stage, we have watched the movie but the play is really different *fingers Crossed it comes the the nottingham area*

Audrey is being played by Claire Buckfield (2.4 Children/Dancing on Ice) and the Dentist by Alex Burns (Eastenders). Interesting casting...

Never heard of him. I thought they might have gone with a more recognisable name for the lead. It would've been great if Paul Keating could've reprised the role from the West End production.
