In this horror, comedy, rock and sci-fi musical (with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman – The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin), Seymour is a sad sack, down-on-his-luck florist shop employee who discovers a new breed of plant that he names Audrey II, after the co-worker he pines for. However, Seymour soon discovers that Audrey II, the R&B-singing, carnivorous, otherworldly, foul-mouthed plant feeds on human BLOOD! This hilarious horror musical features well known musical theatre songs such as “Skid Row (Downtown),” Suddenly, Seymour,” and “Somewhere That’s Green.”

Little Shop of Horrors is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by .

A giant bulbous plant with sharp teeth has its mouth open while being surrounded by characters draped in fabric to look as though they are assimilated with the plant.

Four characters are standing in a doorway, Furthest left, a woman stands with a hand placed on her lip with a solemn expression. Sitting on the doorstep, a man with soot on his face and fingerless gloves is staring off slightly to the right with his body leaning left. Next to the first woman stands a second woman, who alsohas her hand on her hip. In front of this woman stands a third, who is looking to the sky with her lips pouting and a hand on her hip facing the audience.

Three characters are posing while holding an alien plant in a pot while getting photographed by a reporter, one woman has her lips puckered while the other two characters are smiling.

Three women stand on stage, one facing diagonally left, one in the middle facing the audience, and one facing diagonally right. The women facing diagonally left and the woman in the middle are each holding up an index finger while the woman on the right holds up her palm in a halting gesture.

A close up of four men standing, looking to the right (audience's right), speaking.
