EW's editorial guidelines Published on May 14, 2021 10:00AM EDT Suddenly, Seymour...will be played by Jeremy Jordan. EW can exclusively announce that Tony nominee Jordan (Newsies, Waitress) will be donning Seymour's thick glasses when the off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors returns to the stage this fall. Jordan was slated to take over in the role for Jonathan Groff last spring and was in dress rehearsals for the role, when the Broadway shutdown forced theaters to go dark. He was originally set to take the stage March 17, 2020. "I'm so excited to be stepping into a dream role of mine, and joining the ranks of my fellow artists as we usher in the powerful revival of New York theatre," Jordan told EW. "We're returning with a renewed passion and a fierce dedication to fostering better environments both on and off stage." Jeremy Jordan will play Seymour in the 'Little Shop of Horrors' revival.

Performances are then scheduled to run through Jan. 2, 2022. While stages were dark, Little Shop raked in the awards love. It was nominated for a 2021 Grammy Award for its cast album.
