This horror-comedy musical is a cult favorite! Winner of multiple awards, “Little Shop of Horrors” tells the story of Seymour, a hapless florist shop worker who discovers a mysterious plant with an unusual appetite – for blood. As Seymour’s fame grows, so does the plant’s hunger in this delightfully twisted take on ambition, love, and morality.
Director Chad Edwards shares, “Working on this show has been an absolute pleasure. This certainly is a dream cast and crew. I haven’t had this much fun in a rehearsal room in a long time. I believe audiences are really going to enjoy the show. There are a couple of surprises in store for longtime fans of the show.”
