Tony and Olivier award nominee Carrie-Anne Ingrouille (Six The Musical) is set to direct and choreograph a revival of classic Broadway musical Little Shop of Horrors at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre.
Little Shop of Horrors will run at the Hope Mill Theatre from 25 September to 29 November 2026.
The production once again unites the Hope Mill Theatre with Thomas Hopkins Productions, following their success with Rose starring Maureen Lipman, and Peter Quilter’s comedy Glorious.
Carrie-Anne Ingrouille is currently represented in the West End and on Broadway with her critically acclaimed choreography for Six The Musical playing at the Vaudeville Theatre in London and at the Lena Horne Theatre in New York; and The Importance of Being Earnest at the National Theatre, which is transferring to the Noel Coward Theatre this month starring Stephen Fry.
Her other credits include Miss Saigon (UK Tour), The Parent Agency (Chester Storyhouse), Dear Evan Hansen (Nottingham Playhouse/UK Tour), The Merry Widow (Glyndebourne Opera), Sisters of Mersey & The Legend of Rooney’s Ring (Liverpool’s Royal Court), A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Lido2, Paris), Rock Follies (Chichester Festival Theatre), Village Idiot (Theatre Royal Stratford East) and more.
Carrie-Anne Ingrouille said in a statement: “It’s an absolute joy to be directing and choreographing Little Shop of Horrors. Funny, full of dark twists, and pulsing with a raw, playful energy, it remains utterly iconic. I’m excited to bring a fresh perspective while honouring its timeless appeal, and I can’t wait to bring it to life for new audiences while celebrating everything fans already love.”
Producer Thomas Hopkins said: “I have long admired Carrie-Anne’s work and her extraordinary eye for creating work. I cannot be more excited to have Carrie-Anne leading this major revival of one of the world’s most beloved musicals.”
Joseph Houston, Artistic Director of The Hope Mill Theatre said: “At Hope Mill theatre we are thrilled to say that Little Shop of Horrors is finally on sale. Over the past decade we have produced many exciting musical premieres and revivals, and Little Shop has long been on our bucket list of musicals to bring to life in our space, and the time has never felt more right. Once again working alongside our producing partner Thomas Hopkins, this is sure to be a special collaboration on an equally special musical production.”
Little Shop of Horrors has music by Alan Menken, book and lyrics by Howard Ashman.
