Little Shop of Horrors is a dark comedy rock musical about Seymour Krelborn, a meek florist who discovers a mysterious plant with a craving for fresh blood.
Synopsis
Naming the plant Audrey II, after his coworker crush, Seymour nurtures it, only to discover its true intent as it grows into an R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite.
