Little Shop of Horrors

Mr. Mushnik

Role

“A.J. Helfet, who earned many laughs as Seymour’s boss and the owner of the flower shop, Mr. Mushnik, also impressed audiences. Helfet’s physical prowess appeared in every bumbling step he took — particularly while dancing. His line delivery remained consistently funny (even if it did pander to Jewish stereotypes a bit). His number with Seymour, “Mushnik and Son,” really allowed both actors to flaunt their training — they sang, danced and slapsticked like pros.”
