About the Show:
A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has captured the hearts of audiences for over 30 years. With music by Alan Menken and book and lyrics by Howard Ashman (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin), this irresistible hit follows meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn as he discovers a mysterious plant he names "Audrey II" after his crush. The R&B-singing carnivore promises fame and fortune—at a gruesome cost. As Seymour feeds the plant’s growing appetite for blood, he soon uncovers its alarming plans for global domination!
