About the Show:
Little Shop of Horrors is a rock musical with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman. Based on the 1960 film, it tells the darkly comedic story of Seymour Krelborn, a shy and socially awkward young man working in a failing flower shop owned by Mr. Mushnik. One day, Seymour discovers a mysterious plant during a total eclipse of the sun and names it Audrey II, after his coworker, Audrey, who he secretly loves.
As Seymour nurtures Audrey II, he soon realizes that the plant is no ordinary plant. It feeds on human blood and quickly grows larger and more demanding, turning Seymour’s life upside down. With Audrey II’s growing appetite and influence, Seymour finds himself trapped in a dangerous bargain that could cost him everything he holds dear. The plant manipulates him into making morally questionable choices in exchange for success, wealth, and the love of Audrey.
Set in Skid Row, the show blends elements of comedy, horror, and the music of the 1960s, with unforgettable songs like Suddenly Seymour, Feed Me (Git It), and Somewhere That’s Green. As Seymour’s rise to fame and fortune accelerates, he must grapple with the price of ambition and the dangerous consequences of making deals with a monstrous plant. The show is filled with vibrant, Motown-inspired tunes, laugh-out-loud moments, and unexpected twists that keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
Audiences will enjoy a mix of catchy songs, quirky characters, and suspenseful plot twists while witnessing the life of Audrey II—a plant with a big personality and a deadly secret.
