A powerhouse creative team
This revival continues the successful partnership between Thomas Hopkins Productions and Hope Mill Theatre, who previously brought audiences:
- Rose starring Maureen Lipman – which began at Hope Mill before a sold-out West End run in 2023.
- Glorious by Peter Quilter – set to embark on a full UK tour in 2026.
Together, they are committed to creating an authentic, fresh take on the show that honours its original spirit while making it sing for new audiences.
Carrie-Anne Ingrouille: from SIX to Skid Row
Carrie-Anne Ingrouille is currently dazzling both London and Broadway with her Olivier and Tony-nominated choreography for the global smash-hit SIX the Musical (Vaudeville Theatre, London & Lena Horne Theatre, New York).
Her packed CV includes work across the UK and internationally, from Miss Saigon (UK Tour) to Rock Follies (Chichester Festival Theatre), Monsoon Wedding – The Musical (St Ann’s Warehouse, New York), Antigone (Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre), The Merry Widow (Glyndebourne Opera) and Dear Evan Hansen (Nottingham Playhouse/UK Tour).
On taking the helm of Little Shop of Horrors, she says:
“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 added:
“I have long admired Carrie-Anne’s extraordinary eye for creating work. I cannot be more excited to have her leading this major revival of one of the world’s most beloved musicals.”
Hope Mill’s Artistic Director Joseph Houston said:
“At Hope Mill Theatre we are thrilled to finally bring Little Shop of Horrors to life. Over the past decade we’ve staged many exciting premieres and revivals, but Little Shop has long been on our bucket list. Once again working alongside our producing partner Thomas Hopkins, this is sure to be a special collaboration on an equally special musical production.”
