A Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, “Little Shop of Horrors,” has devoured the hearts of theatregoers for over 30 years.

Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and The Beast” and “Aladdin”) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world.

The meek floral assistant, Seymour Krelborn, stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” after his co-worker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it blood. Over time, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out-of-this-world origins and intent toward global domination.

One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows, the charmingly tongue-in-cheek comedy “Little Shop of Horrors” has been produced worldwide. This show is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International and rated PG for language and content.

“Little Shop of Horrors” is directed by Peter J. Hill and musically directed by Robin Peterson. The show stars Kendra Gaines, Alex Gonzalez, Tom Mangum, Taylor McGlone, Jeffrey Middleton, Phuong Mai Pham, Scott Ricafort, Nikki-Jane Sounakhene, Punawai Tietz, and Richard Wells.
