A HERO. A DAMSEL. A DENTIST. AND A SINGING, MAN EATING PLANT. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?
September 29, 2011
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS kicks off the Lake Worth Playhouse’s 59th season with a bang! This classic musical will leave an impression on anyone fluent in or new to theatre.
Synopsis:
A down-and-out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeing its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination!
History:
One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin.” Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, “Little Shop of Horror” never fails to entertain.
