Little Shop of Horrors is a darkly comic, rock musical that blends horror, humor, and a catchy score in a unique and unforgettable way. The Broadway version of this beloved show brings all of its quirky charm and thrilling tension to life, immersing audiences in the tale of Seymour Krelborn, a meek, down-on-his-luck flower shop worker who stumbles upon a mysterious plant that will change his life forever.
Set in the gritty urban neighborhood of Skid Row, Little Shop of Horrors follows Seymour as he discovers the enigmatic Audrey II, a strange and seemingly harmless plant that turns out to have a terrifying appetite. As Seymour nurtures the plant, he’s propelled into the world of fame, fortune, and success, all at the expense of his morals and his sanity. However, Audrey II isn’t just any plant—it’s an insatiable, bloodthirsty creature, and as it grows, so too does its demand.
The musical is packed with memorable, toe-tapping songs like “Skid Row (Downtown),” “Somewhere That’s Green,” “Feed Me (Git It),” and the soulful “Suddenly, Seymour.” The music, written by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman, combines Motown, 1960s pop, and doo-wop influences to create an upbeat, yet haunting atmosphere.
Performances will be held in the Gregory Theater at Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas. Little Shop of Horrors (Broadway Verion) is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com.
