in a role that is typically voiced by a man, Riley booms with soul and is a hovering botanical threat as her performance devours the audience.From the beginning, Brittany Campbell, Tickwanya Jones and Cheyenne Isabel Wells belt out sickening blends and harmonies and maintain the show’s R&B soul throughout, serving up some serious Destiny’s Child and En Vogue funky divas realness.

The cast also sings with Tony-nominated actor Kevin Chamberlin as the high-strung flower shop owner Mr. Mushnik while Matthew Wilkas seamlessly wears multiple hats as a myriad of characters during the show but brings sociopathic flair to his main role as the toxic Orin Scrivello — who is also Audrey’s abusive boyfriend.

Major kudos should be given to the musical’s puppeteers Tyler Bremer, Kelsey Kato, Tim Kopacz, Sarah Kay Peters and Paul Turbiak for bringing the deathly funny and monstrous Audrey II to life.
