Off-BroadwayCult musical

This revival cracked the code: put Menken and Ashman's flawless score in a 270-seat house, cast ringers in every role, and let Audrey II devour people at arm's length. The intimacy is the whole trick — 'Suddenly Seymour' hits differently when you're twenty feet away. Its rotating star casting keeps the run an event years in; check who's currently in the shop, but honestly the show carries any cast. A dependable great night, weekend after weekend.

What to expect

A tight two hours in an intimate off-Broadway house — puppetry that gets genuinely impressive as the plant grows, and a crowd mixing first-timers with repeat devotees. Saturday and Sunday performances; premium seats put you in splash-zone proximity to Audrey II.
