This week, The Broadway Show with Tamsen Fadal is taking viewers on a magic carpet ride, from the streets of Skid Row to the far reaches of Neverland and beyond.

Stop in at Mushnik & Son to visit Darren Criss, the latest Seymour in the hit off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors. He sits down with Broadway.com Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek to talk about starting his shift in the flower shop, sharing the stage with Evan Rachel Wood and inducting his daughter into the Howard Ashman fan club.

Water for Elephants, the new high-flying musical based on the novel by Sara Gruen, met the press ahead of its first Broadway performance at the Imperial Theatre on February 24. Hear from stars Grant Gustin, Isabelle McCalla and the rest of the cast who agree the show is “unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.”
