A mind-bending sci-fi smash, a touching love story, and a man-eating plant with an unquenchable thirst for blood! Welcome to Skid Row, where the meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn spends his days pining after his coworker crush, Audrey, and putting up with his cranky boss, Mr. Mushnik. Everything changes after a sudden total eclipse of the sun, when Seymour stumbles across a strange and unusual new breed of plant he names “Audrey II”. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame, romance, and fortune to the down-and-out Seymour—as long as he keeps feeding it fresh human blood. But as the plant grows to monstrous proportions, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and a diabolical plot for global domination! Powered by an infectious, 1960s-style doo-wop and Motown score, Little Shop of Horrors is a gleefully macabre, laugh-out-loud musical masterpiece that has devoured the hearts of theatregoers for decades. Just remember the golden rule: Don't feed the plants!
