A musical about a boy, a girl, a florist, a dentist and a hungry plant. It’s the Fun, Tony nominated, ’60s Doo Wop, Rock and Roll, Quirky, Boy-Meets-Girl musical that is, Little Shop of Horrors.
This Hilarious Horticul-tural Horror revolves around Seymour. Our sweet florist clerk hero is taken in and given a job by Mr Mushnik, the owner of a rundown Florists in Skid Row, New York City.
Seymour spends his time doing menial tasks and dreaming of the sweet blonde shop assistant, Audrey.
One day, just after an eclipse of the Sun, Seymour discovers a strange and interesting plant with a rather unique appetite. All is going well until the plant begins to sing for its supper.
Seymour finally has everything he wished for but at what cost?
The Players Theatre will be presenting this fun and quirky musical from September 16 till October 9, with one of the strongest casts of actors, singers and dancers that has been seen in the local area in some time.
