Carrie-Anne Ingrouille to direct and choreograph LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Hope Mill Theatre
Tony and Olivier award nominated director Carrie-Anne Ingrouille will direct and choreograph a new revival of the classic musical masterpiece LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, premiering at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre from 25 September – 29 November 2026.
This ten-week run in Manchester will be the longest sit-down production to play in the UK since the 2007 West End production.
Thomas Hopkins and The Hope Mill have come together to mount this new production, with a commitment to create a truly authentic representation that honours the original spirit of the show.
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, London and the Lena Horne Theatre, New York. For her work on the show, Carrie-Anne has received Tony, Drama Desk, Olivier, WhatsOnStage, Offie and The Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Award nominations for Best Choreography.
Carrie-Anne Ingrouille said: “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.”
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 mayor revival of one of the world’s most beloved musicals.”
