Exeter Northcott reveals Little Shop of Horrors photos ahead of tour

Exeter Northcott Theatre has released first-look photos for its new production of Little Shop of Horrors.

The images were published on 2 October 2026, just after the show opened in Exeter. The theatre describes it as its first produced full-scale musical in more than 20 years. It runs at the Northcott until 17 October 2026. WhatsOnStage

The Exeter run opened on 1 October and continues until 17 October 2026. It is a home-grown production. It has been co-produced with two touring partners, meaning the three venues built the show together and will each present it.

After Exeter, the company travels to Lighthouse Poole. Performances there run from 20 to 24 October 2026. The final stop is the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry, from 27 to 31 October 2026. The tour is short. The same staging visits three cities in October. WhatsOnStage

Scott McClure leads the company as Seymour. Leigh Quinn plays Audrey opposite him. Dashaun Vegas plays Audrey II. Ross Clifton plays Orin Scrivello. Andrew Whitehead plays Mr Mushnik, the flower shop owner.

Laura Buhagiar plays Ronnete. Jessica Ncube plays Chiffon. Jodie Micciche plays Crystal. Grace Hull performs in the ensemble, the wider supporting company that fills out scenes and musical numbers. The rest of the ensemble is made up of local performers cast around Exeter.

The production is directed by Martin Berry. Berry is the Northcott's creative director and joint chief executive. Leanne Pinder is the choreographer, in charge of dance and movement. The new production photographs are credited to Craig Fuller.

What makes this stand out for audiences is the way it has been put together. A regional theatre is building a full musical in-house for the first time in two decades, then taking it on the road with local performers inside a professional company. For ticket buyers in Exeter, Poole and Coventry, this means three separate chances to see the same production close to home.
