The “Southpaw” star was joined by Taran Killam, Tracy Nicole Chapman, Ellen Green and Ramona Keller as he played Seymour as part of the New York City Center Encores Off-Center production.
Afterwards, the New York Post sang Jake’s praises- “To everybody’s surprise, including maybe his own, Jake Gyllenhaal is appealingly funny and sweet in Encores’ semi-staged concert of the comic musical ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ — playing City Center for just two days. Not bad for a guy who’s best known for heavy-duty movies like ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and ‘Nightcrawler’ and a pair of somber-minded plays (most recently Broadway’s ‘Constellations’).”
