Jake Gyllenhaal to Make Musical Debut as Seymour in 'Little Shop of Horrors,' Opposite Taran Killam from 'SNL' >>
After starring opposite Ruth Wilson in Constellations on Broadway, Jake Gyllenhaal will soon make his musical theater debut as the nerdy florist Seymour in Encores! Off-Center production of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's 'Little Shop of Horrors.' According to New York mag's Vulture, Gyllenhaal appears to be getting more comfortable on stage.

Originally slated as a one-night-only performance, the Dick Scanlan-directed concert production will now play three performances at New York's City Center on July 1 and 2, 2015 according to 'Entertainment Weekly.'
