A deviously delicious musical comedy that has captivated audiences for decades!
Meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn discovers a strange and unusual plant that promises fame, fortune, and the chance to win the heart of his coworker, Audrey. But as the mysterious plant—dubbed Audrey II—begins to grow, Seymour soon realizes that every wish comes with a horrifying price.
Featuring a thrilling rock-and-roll score inspired by the sounds of the 1960s, Little Shop of Horrors is packed with unforgettable songs including “Suddenly, Seymour,” “Skid Row (Downtown),” “Somewhere That’s Green,” and “Feed Me (Git It).” Equal parts laugh-out-loud comedy, heartfelt romance, and delightfully campy horror, this cult classic continues to entertain audiences of all ages.
Don’t miss one of the most beloved musicals ever written as it takes root on the Community Theatre League stage. Just remember… whatever you do, don’t feed the plants!
Recommended for ages 10 and up. This production contains mild language, cartoon-style violence, mature themes, and depictions of abusive relationships.
