Little Shop of Horrors
Seymour, an orphan and a nerd, is taken in and given a job by Mr. Mushnik, the owner of a run down florists in the seedy part of town. Seymour spends his time doing menial tasks and dreaming of the shop assistant, Audrey. One day, just after an eclipse of the Sun, Seymour discovers a strange plant. He buys it and names it Audrey II. While caring for Audrey II, Seymour discovers the plant’s rather unique appetite. The plant grows and grows, as does Seymour's infatuation for Audrey but, who will get her first? Feed me!
Menken and Ashman’s off-Broadway
musical is based on the low-budget 1960
film The Little Shop of Horrors, directed
by Roger Corman. The stage musical
was adapted again for film in 1986 by
Frank Oz starring Ellen Greene & Rick
Moranis.
If you want to chase the post Christmas
blues away, come and be entertained, as
we take you back to the world of science
fiction B movies in a time not too long
before our own. With Juliet Ascroft at the
helm as director, this is a show not to be
missed.
