Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:
Broadway's Little Shop of Horrors is a classic cult favorite that has delighted audiences since its inception in the early 1980s. With music by Alan Menken and lyrics and a book by Howard Ashman, the show is an intriguing mix of doo-wop, rock’n’roll, and Motown, wrapped in a thrilling, comedic, and chilling narrative. If you enjoy musicals that are a bit unusual and have a touch of mystery, this is one to see. Notable for its original and ingenious puppetry, Little Shop of Horrors introduces Audrey II, an extraordinary plant that grows larger and more menacing throughout the story. Audrey II transforms from a peculiar curiosity into a formidable and dangerous entity as the narrative progresses. The musical artfully examines the extreme measures one might take for fame and validation. Implementing ingenious special effects captivates audiences and adds a layer of unexpected thrill to the performance. Audrey II’s escalating presence cleverly underscores the themes of ambition and consequence. This inventive blend of storytelling and puppetry makes Little Shop of Horrors a standout production.
The storyline revolves around Seymour Krelborn, a shy flower shop worker who comes across an extraordinary plant. He names this unique plant Audrey II in homage to his love interest. As the plant grows, so do the complications in Seymour's life. The musical combines humor, suspense, and unforgettable characters. As he gets to know the plant, he realizes it constantly needs blood. With each passing day, Audrey II grows more massive and terrifying, while Seymour alienates those he loves, succumbing to the unquenchable needs of this insatiable monster. Could his morally questionable actions lead to a happy ending? And how much longer can he keep his secrets?
The off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors is worth checking out for fun 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.
Remember, you don’t have to feed the plant to receive your discounted rate—just book a group of 10 or more and enjoy the show.
