A deviously delicious
Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has
devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan
Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the
creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the
world.
The meek floral assistant Seymour
Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” – after his
coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending
fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it,
BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world
origins and intent towards global domination!
The music, composed by Menken in the
style of early 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop and early Motown, includes several
well-known tunes, including the title song, “Skid Row (Downtown)”, “Somewhere
That’s Green”, and “Suddenly, Seymour”. The show is rated PG.
