Directed by BILL FENNELLY

Feed me. Not your typical boy-meets-girl comedy, Little Shop of Horrors is a hilarious musical that's literally out of this world. On Skid Row, Seymour is your average, nerdy, down-on-his-luck floral assistant. That all changes when he meets a power-hungry, fast-talking plant who vows to fulfill Seymour's wildest dreams: fame, fortune and the heart of the girl he loves. There's just one catch. The plant thirsts for human blood, and its growing pains send Seymour down a diabolical path with murderous consequences. With an infectious score that gleefully combines rock, Motown and Broadway, Little Shop of Horrors ensures you’ll be toe-tapping along to this screamingly funny, joyously entertaining, tongue-in-cheek delight.

"Exuberant ... leaves the audience ravenous for more." — The New York Times

 

ADVISORY: Little Shop of Horrors is appropriate for adults and young people ages 11 and up. The show is a hysterical musical favorite containing just mild adult language and campy violence.

RUNNING TIME: The show runs approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes, including one intermission.
