Little Shop of Horrors is a dark comedy rock musical that follows Seymour Krelborn, a meek and downtrodden flower shop assistant working in a run-down part of town.
One day, Seymour discovers an unusual plant, which he names Audrey II after his co-worker and secret crush, Audrey. The plant, however, is no ordinary one—it has a thirst for human blood. As Seymour cares for Audrey II, the plant begins to grow, attracting attention and transforming Seymour’s fortunes. However, the cost of fame becomes too high as Audrey II’s demands for blood increase, leading Seymour into a spiral of moral dilemmas.
Set against a backdrop of catchy 1960s-inspired rock, doo-wop, and Motown music, the show blends horror, humor, and romance as it explores themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the consequences of unchecked desires.
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
