Bring the dark comedy, grit and retro charm of Little Shop of Horrors to life with our full-show costume hire from Thespis Theatrical Costumiers.
Designed for schools, youth theatre and amateur productions, this complete wardrobe package captures the skid row atmosphere, 1950s–1960s styling and character-led detail that make this cult musical so distinctive.
We specialise exclusively in full-show costume hire, ensuring complete consistency across your production. Every principal and ensemble role is carefully considered, with costumes designed to work together visually on stage.
All costumes include appropriate footwear, hats and accessories, supplied ready for performance.
Set on skid row in New York, Little Shop of Horrors follows the awkward and endearing Seymour Krelborn, who works in Mushnik’s struggling flower shop and dreams of winning the affection of his co-worker Audrey.
When Seymour discovers a strange plant with a taste for human blood, his fortunes begin to change — but at a terrible cost. Packed with doo-wop, Motown-inspired numbers and wickedly dark humour, this is a show full of personality, contrast and unforgettable stage moments.
Seymour – nerdy, modest 1950s–1960s styling reflecting his awkward charm and transformation
Audrey – iconic period looks blending vulnerability, glamour and skid row grit
Orin Scrivello – bold, characterful styling with strong theatrical attitude
Mushnik – worn, practical shopkeeper attire with authentic period feel
Ensemble – a strong mix of original and specially made 1950s–1960s costumes, including diner waitress dresses, streetwear and vintage-inspired character pieces
No props ie Plants - Audrey 11
• Audrey’s memorable period looks throughout the show
• The Ronettes’ specially made dresses with strong trio identity
• Skid row street scenes with gritty urban styling
• Diner, shop and ensemble moments that bring the world of the show vividly to life
Our costumes are built with the practical demands of live theatre in mind, including quick changes, durability and ease of wear.
The overall look of this production leans into a gritty urban palette, with muted tones and carefully controlled colour to support the dark comedy and period atmosphere of the piece.
Costumes are delivered by our own team using modern long-wheelbase vans, arriving on rails, in labelled garment bags, ready to go straight into your dressing rooms.
As a guide, you will typically require one 6ft rail per 25 costumes to comfortably accommodate the set, although fuller costume plots may need more.
We deliver throughout the UK and regularly support productions in Ireland and across Europe, including full customs and ATA carnet handling where required.
