Little Shop of Horrors is a gleefully macabre sci-fi horror musical, powered by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s infectious 1960s-style pop, rock, and Motown score.
Seymour Krelborn, a shy and awkward assistant at a failing flower shop on Skid Row, stumbles upon a strange, exotic plant after a mysterious total eclipse of the sun. He names it “Audrey II” in honor of his kind-hearted co-worker and secret crush, Audrey. To his shock, the plant begins to speak—smooth, sassy, and soulful—and reveals a disturbing appetite for fresh human blood.
As Seymour’s small offerings help Audrey II grow to monstrous proportions, his life transforms. The shop thrives, the media takes notice, and romance seems possible. But the price of success is steep: the plant’s demands escalate from drops of blood to full human meals.
When Seymour discovers Audrey II’s alien origins and diabolical plan for world domination, he must decide whether to stop the plant—or become just another victim in its leafy path to conquest.
Coming this November…Mary Poppins Jr.
