I'm losing my music director and my art director. But I have a fabulous male and a fabulous female lead. What small, EASY musical can I do? I'm thinking Little Shop of Horrors. I also thought Cinderella but it is restricted.

There's no such thing as an EASY musical. - And Little Shop of Horrors is nowhere near "small" nor "easy" - especially with no Art Director..
SMALL is The Fantasticks or I Do, I Do or The Last Five Years or Dames at Sea or Guttenberg - The Musical, and you might even expand the definition to include The Drowsy Chaperone. - Or try for the "review" type shows: Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris or Songs for a New World.
Or maybe you could just stage a "Concert" version of any old musical you feel like. It works well enough with Les Miserables every ten years or so.

If you just want to showcase your two leads without taking on the entire undertaking of a musical, you might want to consider a concert show like "Side by Side by Sondheim." You can put a little into each number, it's entertaining, and it won't kill you.
