This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a talkback at the end of the matinee performance of Little Shop of Horrors, where the cast (led by Production Stage Manager Craig A. Horness) were greeted with huge cheers from their enthusiastic audience. They spent the next half hour answering questions from fans eager to learn the methods behind the magic onstage. Here are some of the highlights:

Tonight I had the great opportunity to view a Technical rehearsal for Little Shop and see the talented cast, crew, directors and designers working hard to put everything together. And at first glance, it look amazing!!

We’ve been given an awesome opportunity to interview the very humble and talented Elliot Dash, who appeared last year in Ford’s Theatre’s Civil War. Now he’s back in a completely different role as Audrey 2 and has been rocking rehearsals so far. Lucky for us, he took time out of his busy schedule to sit down with yours truly and answer a few questions for our faithful followers. Enjoy!

We finally have exclusive photos and video from rehearsals for Little Shop of Horrors. I'm very excited to bring these to you as they give you a really nice glimpse into what rehearsals have been like and how the show is progressing. Click here for my Flickr photostream:
