The Hoogland Center for the Arts is excited to present Little Shop of Horrors on October 24-26 and October 31-November 2 in the LRS Theatre. The show will be directed by Joe-Michael Jackson and Ginny Racette.
A theatrical classic that has captivated audiences for over three decades, Little Shop of Horrors remains one of the most popular and enduring musicals in theatre and film history. Created by the legendary Howard Ashman and Alan Menken – the creative forces behind Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin – Little Shop of Horrors combines outrageous humor, unforgettable music, and a thrilling storyline that continues to delight audiences around the world.
In this delightfully twisted tale, Seymour Krelborn, a humble floral assistant, stumbles upon a mysterious new plant during a total eclipse of the sun. He names the strange new plant Audrey II, after his co-worker, and crush, at the flower shop. Little does Seymour know, this talking, R&B-singing carnivore is about to change his life in unimaginable ways. As Audrey II promises fame and fortune in exchange for... BLOOD, Seymour's world quickly spirals out of control, leading him to discover the true, world-dominating intentions of his beloved plant.
With its sensational songs, including “Suddenly, Seymour, “Somewhere That’s Green,” and “Feed Me (Git It),” Little Shop of Horrors has become a musical phenomenon, blending humor, horror, and heart into an unforgettable theater experience. The show has been performed in theaters around the world, including off-Broadway and Broadway productions and an acclaimed film adaptation, making it a true testament to the lasting legacy of Ashman and Menken’s creative brilliance.
Take a trip to Skid Row and experience a tale of fame, fortune, and one very hungry plant that’s sure to leave you hungry for more.
