Set and costume design is by Morgan Large. Audrey II is brought to life through four specially commissioned puppets created by Robert Allsopp, whose work includes Doctor Who, X-Men, The Witcher and the Tin Man in Wicked: For Good.

The production is produced by Thomas Hopkins Productions and SAMS Entertainment, in association with Hope Mill Theatre.

The revival coincides with the 40th anniversary of the 1986 film. Following its Manchester run, it will transfer to Liverpool Playhouse from 3 December 2026 to 9 January 2027, with Jessie Elland taking over as Audrey.
