Little Shop of Horrors
A Musical by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman
It is remarkable how few musicals deal with Man-Eating Plants from Outer Space! But thankfully, this interplanetary tour-de-force came along just in time to recount the story of Seymour Krelborn, a hapless clerk in a Skid Row flower shop who discovers a small plant sent by Aliens to take over the earth. He nurtures it with his own blood, while trying to rescue a girl named Audrey from an abusive relationship with a sadistic dentist. THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS delighted audiences for 2200 performances Off-Broadway before becoming a genuine Cult Film favorite. Alan Menken has won 8 Academy Awards for scores such as THE LITTLE MERMAID, ALADDIN and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Songs include "Suddenly, Seymour," You'll Be a Dentist" and "Somewhere That's Green."
