Jordan Fisher has taken over Skid Row. The actor and performer is currently headlining Little Shop of Horrors on Broadway, and the theater world is paying close attention. So are a lot of other people.
Playbill marked the occasion this week with an Instagram post looking back at some of Fisher’s most recognized roles. The caption read: “Skid Row’s very own Jordan Fisher is your man! With his run at Little Shop of Horrors underway, Playbill is looking back at some of the star’s most iconic roles.” The post featured original artwork by illustrator Olivia Haney, and it pulled in more than 19,000 likes.
That’s a solid number for a theater industry post. It says a lot about the size of the audience Fisher has built over the years.
Little Shop of Horrors has been a Broadway staple for decades. The show opened off-Broadway in 1982 and eventually made its way to the main stage. It’s based on a 1960 Roger Corman film. A popular 1986 movie version introduced it to a whole new generation. The story centers on Seymour, a meek florist. He stumbles onto a carnivorous plant and things get complicated fast. It’s a demanding role. The lead needs strong vocals and the energy to carry the whole show.
Jordan Fisher brings all of that to the table. He got his start in television and eventually moved into stage work and music. His Broadway career has been a standout piece of everything he’s built. He’s taken on well-known productions and earned a reputation as one of the more reliable performers working today. Long-time followers know he tends to show up ready. That consistency has opened a lot of doors for him across the industry.
That track record is what makes the Playbill retrospective feel earned. A look back at his biggest roles puts the current Broadway run in proper context. Fisher has covered a lot of ground. His career is still building. The feature reads more like a genuine accounting of consistent work than a hype piece ahead of opening night.
The Olivia Haney illustration adds something extra. A custom drawing gives the post a more intentional feel than a standard promotional graphic would. It’s the kind of detail fans notice, and the warm response in the comments made that clear.
The Little Shop NYC production has been drawing steady attention. Fisher’s casting helped drive that. Little Shop of Horrors already has a devoted following. People know the show. They love it. Adding someone with Fisher’s profile to the lead role brings his audience in and broadens the show’s reach. In a city with no shortage of options on any given night, that kind of crossover matters.
Fisher has kept a visible presence online throughout the run. His followers have been enthusiastic in return. The 19,081 likes on the Playbill post aren’t just a number. They reflect real interest in what he’s doing on that stage right now.
Little Shop of Horrors is running now in New York. Ticket details are available through the production’s official channels. Fisher is carrying real momentum. Going sooner is probably smarter than waiting.
He’s at that point in his career. The work speaks for itself. The Playbill feature makes that clear. And with the run still going, there’s more to add to the list.
