Florida Repertory Theatre presents Little Shop of Horrors in the Historic Arcade Theatre March 17 to April 12.
This multiple award-winning (New York Drama Critic’s Circle, Drama Desk and more) musical comedy with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken is a deviously delicious American cult classic! At Mushnik’s Skid Row Florists, down-on-his-luck Seymour pines for his beautiful co-worker, Audrey (who is trapped in an abusive relationship with a masochistic dentist). When Seymour stumbles across a strange and interesting new plant – with an unquenchable thirst for human blood – it looks like all his dreams may come true. Based on a 1960s B-Movie, Little Shop is packed with laughs, thrills, chills, and all the hit songs it made famous – “Skid Row,” “Feed Me”, “Suddenly Seymour” and more.
“Little Shop of Horrors has been a cult classic and audience favorite since it’s Off-Broadway debut in 1982,” says Greg Longenhagen, Florida Rep’s producing artistic director. “And we have assembled an all-star cast of musical theatre professionals, and a creative team that includes our very own Jason Parrish as director – fresh off his success with Always…Patsy Cline – and Stephen Christopher Anthony, one of Broadway’s Evan Hansens, as musical director, just to name a few. It’s shaping up to be a killer production of this fantastic musical.”…
