Get ready for a hilarious, thrilling, and delightfully twisted musical, Little Shop of Horrors! This cult-classic sci-fi musical by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman combines infectious rock-and-roll, outrageous comedy, romance, and a man-eating plant!

In a rundown flower shop on Skid Row, Seymour Krelborn (Joel Siemen) is a shy, down-on-his-luck floral assistant with big dreams and an even bigger crush on his coworker, Audrey Fulquard (Jenny Fischer). When Seymour discovers a mysterious plant, he names it Audrey II. But Audrey II has a secret; it craves human blood, and promises Seymour fame, fortune, and everything he’s ever wanted.

As the plant grows from a tiny curiosity into a monstrous sensation, the struggling flower shop owned by the gruff Mr. Mushnik (Stephen A. Grey) becomes a success, and Seymour finds himself thrust into the spotlight. Meanwhile, Audrey dreams of escaping her troubled relationship with the sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello (Jonas Grummet) and building a better life.

But success comes at a terrible price. As Audrey II’s appetite grows increasingly dangerous, Seymour must decide how far he’s willing to go for love, wealth, and a chance at a better life. 

Guiding us through the chaos are the dynamic trio of Crystal (Ja’Leeyna Dooley), Chiffon (Lauren Guyton), and Ronnette (Zariah Williams), bringing infectious energy, soulful harmonies, and plenty of attitude.

At the center of it all is Ali Jamal as Audrey II, the foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivorous plant with dreams of world domination.

Featuring unforgettable songs, outrageous characters, and a story about the dangerous side of ambition, Little Shop of Horrors will have you laughing, cheering, and looking at your houseplants a little differently.

Come discover what happens when love, ambition, and a little bit of blood collide!

Welcome to The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a hilarious and heartwarming musical that became a Broadway sensation! At the center of this celebrated musical are six wonderfully different competitors.

Chip Tolentino is the former spelling champion determined to defend his title, even when an unexpected distraction threatens to derail his concentration. Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre is a fiercely competitive overachiever desperate to make her demanding fathers proud. Leaf Coneybear is a lovable, eccentric homeschooler who is convinced he does not belong in the Bee, despite having a surprising talent for spelling.

Marigold Coneybear is an intense young competitor with a remarkable vocabulary and an even more remarkable competitive spirit. William Barfée is the Bee's self proclaimed spelling genius, armed with his famous Magic Foot technique and a personality that is impossible to forget. And then there is Olive Ostrovsky, a quiet and thoughtful girl whose dictionary has become her closest companion as she searches for confidence, connection, and her place in the world.

Keeping the Bee moving are Rona Lisa Peretti, a former champion who takes her job as moderator very seriously; Vice Principal Douglas Panch, whose return to the Bee brings plenty of questionable enthusiasm; and Mitch Mahoney, the reluctant comfort counselor tasked with helping the young spellers cope when their dreams of victory come crashing down.

As the competition gets amplified, these characters discover that the Bee is about much more than knowing how to spell an impossibly difficult word. It is about friendship, family, expectations, insecurity, individuality, and the courage to be yourself.

Come see why Broadway audiences fell in love with the Bee!
