Thomas Doherty will make his New York stage debut as Seymour in the musical, beginning September 5, 2025. He stars opposite Emmy Award nominated actress Madeline Brewer as Audrey, at the Westside Theatre.
Doherty was recently seen in Hulu’s “Tell Me Lies,” and just wrapped shooting season 2 of Hulu’s Emmy-nominated series “Paradise.” He also starred as the lead of Sony’s The Invitation, Dandelion, HBO’s “Gossip Girl” reboot, Tina Fey’s “Girls5Eva,” Hulu’s “High Fidelity” opposite Zoë Kravitz, HBO’s “Catherine The Great” opposite Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke, and Disney’s Descendants film franchise. Doherty is represented by Gersh, Anonymous Content & Peikoff Mahan.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Thomas Doherty to Mushnik’s Flower Shop,” said producer Rob Ahrens. “His remarkable talent is clear from the breadth of his onscreen work.” Producer Tom Kirdahy added, “To have Thomas and Madeline Brewer paired together in these iconic roles of Seymour and Audrey brings a special kind of energy to our stage, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience it live.”
Madeline Brewer’s debut as Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors follows her acclaimed turn as Sally Bowles in the Olivier Award-winning West End production of Cabaret at the Playhouse Theatre in London. She earned a 2021 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, for her role as Janine in Hulu’s Emmy Award and Golden Globe-winning series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and recently starred on screen as Bronte in the final season of Netflix’s chart-topping series “You,” alongside Penn Badgley. Other credits include Dawn in Hustlers, Raiman in “Black Mirror”, Miranda Cates in “Hemlock Grove,” and Brewer’s memorable television debut as fan-favorite Tricia Miller in Netflix’s original comedy-drama series “Orange is the New Black”.
Seymour is a down-on-his-luck florist with a crush on his co-worker Audrey. When he discovers a mysterious – and voracious – plant, suddenly Seymour and Audrey are thrust into an epic battle that will determine the fate of the entire human race.
