On Stage in March and April
2025-2026 Season
Little Shop of Horrors
Music by Alan Menken, lyrics and a book by Howard Ashman
Down on Skid Row, poor Seymour Krelborn seems destined to live a glum life. But then he discovers a strange and interesting plant with a naughty mouth and speedy metabolism. The plant delivers fame, money, and the girl of Seymour's dreams all for the price of MORE BLOOD and …what...world domination? This delicious pop/rock, sci-fi, horror musical is a slick send-up of the B-movies of the 1950s and '60s and one of our time's most beloved shows. (NOTE: This musical contains mature themes: sexual content and adult language.)
