Audiences follow Seymour, portrayed by Milo Manheim, as he navigates his way through dilemma after dilemma, thanks to his unusual and ever-hungry plant, Audrey II. Accompanied by Elizabeth Gillies as Audrey and Jeremy Kushnier as Dr. Orin Scrivello D.D.S., this cast continues the darkly comedic spirit of this timeless piece. The music, an inventive mix of doo-wop, rock’n’roll, and Motown, composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman, elevates the theatrical experience to a new level of fun, silliness, and emotion.
Focused on themes of ambition and consequence, Little Shop of Horrors uses its blend of storytelling and puppet artistry to create a theatrical spectacle that's both wildly entertaining and thought-provoking. This musical is a must-see for anyone who values inventive performances with a hint of mystery.
In the eerie off-Broadway corner of Little Shop of Horrors, we find Seymour Krelborn, an unassuming flower shop employee who stumbles upon a fascinating plant. This strange botanical specimen, which he christens Audrey II in a tip of the hat to his out-of-reach love, quickly reveals an unusual appetite. As Seymour discovers, Audrey II's demands for sustenance are insatiable, requiring a supply of human blood to thrive.
As days pass, the plant's growth seems unbounded, with its presence becoming more imposing and ominous. Caught between desires and affection, Seymour finds himself drifting away from those he holds dear, ensnared by Audrey II’s relentless demands. The narrative is rich with suspense as Seymour's ethically dubious decisions propel the story forward. Will his secrets remain concealed, and can Seymour navigate his moral conundrums to find a resolution? Only time (and Audrey II) will tell in this thrilling tale of choices, consequences, and the lengths one might go to achieve fortune and favor.
The off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors is worth checking out for a fun time with friends or family. It offers a darkly comic plot, catchy music, and easy-to-relate-to characters, making it a solid choice for a group outing. Merging comedic moments with genuine scares, Little Shop of Horrors is a treat for those who enjoy both the peculiar and the petrifying.
