High Tide Theatrical will open its production of “Little Shop of Horrors” on May 29, bringing the cult‑classic musical — and a working plant shop — to downtown Springfield, according to a community announcement.
The production will run through June 27 at The Lightroom Lounge at Martha’s Vineyard, 215 W. Olive St. Performances are scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The story follows Seymour Krelborn, a struggling florist’s assistant whose discovery of a mysterious plant brings sudden success — and dangerous consequences. The musical blends comedy, horror and romance and includes songs such as “Skid Row,” “Somewhere That’s Green” and “Suddenly, Seymour,” according to the announcement.
