Liz Gillies and Milo Manheim Are Off-Broadway's New Audrey and Seymour in “Little Shop of Horrors ”(Exclusive)

Liz Gillies and Milo Manheim are coming to Skid Row!

PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that the two actors will take over the lead roles in the acclaimed Off-Broadway revival of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s musical Little Shop of Horrors.

Gillies, 31, and Manheim, 23, will start performances as lovebirds Audrey and Seymour, respectively, on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at New York City's Westside Theatre.

Broadway alum Jeremy Kushnier (Footloose, Jesus Christ Superstar, Head Over Heels) is also joining the cast as demented dentist Orin Schrivello.

Current cast members Sherie Rene Scott and Nicholas Christopher will play their last performances on Sunday, Feb. 23.

The run marks Gillies’ return to the New York City stage after having made her Broadway debut in Jason Robert Brown’s musical 13, alongside Ariana Grande and Allie Trimm, over 16 years ago in 2008.

The actress has gone on to establish a name for herself on screen, starring in the Nickelodeon hit series Victorious, the FX musical comedy Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll and the CW drama series Dynasty (among other credits).

Gillies released her debut studio album in 2023, We Wish You the Merriest, a collection of Christmas duets with actor Seth MacFarlane.

In 2013, the actress participated in a New York City reading of Jawbreaker: the Musical, which also starred pop star Joanna "Jojo" Levesque.

Manheim, meanwhile, is making his Off-Broadway debut in the production. He is best known for starring in the Disney movie franchise Zombies, which recently wrapped production on its fourth installment.

The actor’s previous theater credits include starring in the Deaf West stage production of American Idiot in Los Angeles in 2024. He played the character Johnny, a role that he shared with CODA star Daniel Durant.

He also starred in the Paramount+ series School Spirits, Eli Roth’s 2023 horror movie Thanksgiving, and Disney+’s Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.

Little Shop of Horrors follows down-on-his-luck florist Seymour as he discovers a strange plant that may win him the love of his co-worker and crush Audrey.

The sci-fi musical first premiered Off-Broadway in 1982, before it was translated to the silver screen for a 1986 movie adaptation that famously starred Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, and original cast member Ellen Greene. Well-known throughout the theater community, the show features the popular songs "Suddenly Seymour," "Somewhere That’s Green" and "Skid Row (Downtown)."
