Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage
The sci-fi musical thriller with a killer ’60s sound

Things start looking up for Seymour, a nerdy flower shop assistant, when he discovers a highly unusual plant during a solar eclipse. This fast-growing and fast-talking new organism, named Audrey Two, attracts fame and helps Seymour win the affection of his crush. But will the price of satisfying the plant’s hunger for human blood prove too steep? You’ll thrill to this comedy’s ’60s-inspired score, featuring the unforgettable tunes “Somewhere That’s Green,” “Dentist!,” “Suddenly Seymour,” the titular “Little Shop of Horrors,” and more.

Little Shop of Horrors is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
