Little Shop of Horrors
Book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman

Based on the film by Roger Corman, Screenplay by Charles Griffith
Directed by Chris Coleman
Feast on the Denver Center’s production of a beloved sci-fi musical that has rocked the globe for generations!
The meek, yet nurturing, Seymour Krelborn is perennially down on his luck. Working at a flower shop on Skid Row, he is constantly berated by his boss, Mr. Mushnik. He’s infatuated with his co-worker Audrey, but she is caught in a toxic relationship with a sadistic dentist. One day, Seymour chances upon a strange and mysterious new plant cutting, which he nurses back to health. When he discovers the flytrap’s appetite for human blood, it thrives and begins to sing for its supper. But when Audrey II’s bloodlust becomes insatiable, Seymour must take a stand to prevent the carnivorous plant from world domination.
Unforgettable musical numbers, including the title track, “Skid Row,” and “Suddenly, Seymour,” will provide massive dose of nostalgia for theatre-lovers. For newcomers to musical comedies, Little Shop of Horrors provides a delicious introduction to the joyful, larger-than-life world of Broadway.
A genuinely gruesome classic!
