Little Shop Of Horrors Tickets

Little Shop of Horrors is one of the most renowned musicals of all time in the United States. The show is inspired by the 1960 black comedy movie of the same name, which was directed by Roger Corman and starred Jack Nicholson.

A successful run

The musical first premiered in 1982 and later had an Off-Broadway run at the Orpheum Theatre. Its successful run at the Orpheum lasted over half a decade. Through the decades, Little Shop has been produced on Broadway, in the West End, and numerous international adaptations and tours.

Hit numbers, cult following & what not!

Over the years, it has garnered a devoted cult following among theatregoers and theatre performers. The musical is minimalistic, requiring easy orchestrations and a small number of actors. Due to this fact, it is often the choice of school, community, and amateur productions.

Despite its simplicity, its hit songs have won widespread critical acclaim. These include “Suddenly, Seymour,” “Somewhere That’s Green,” and “Skid Row (Downtown).” All of these songs were composed by Menken and stylized in doo-wop, Motown, and rock and roll music from the 1960s.

Innocent florist versus evil plant

The story of the musical follows the life of the young orphan Seymour Krelborn, who lives in a skid row. He is a florist who works with the ingénue blonde Audrey at Mr. Mushnik's flower shop, which no longer attracts any customers. Seymour chances upon a mysterious plant that resembles a huge Venus flytrap. He names the plant Audrey II after his love interest. The plant soon starts to die and Seymour doesn't know how to nurse it back to health. He accidentally discovers that Audrey II requires human blood to thrive and that it can also speak. The naïve florist gives in to the plant's bloodlust as it promises him riches, fame, and love. What ensues is a struggle of power and domination between the florist and his plant.

Creative duo behind Little Shop

The Grammy Award-winning team of lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken worked on the lyrics, book, and music for Little Shop of Horrors. Together, they have also received two Golden Globe Awards and two Academy Awards. They are responsible for the lyrics and music of Disney classics such as Oliver & Company, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. With direction by Dick Scanlan and choreography by Patricia Wilcox, the new adaptation of Little Shop hit New York City Center's main stage in summer 2015.

Gyllenhaal, Killam & Greene on-stage

In 2014, the Academy Award-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal thrilled the audience with his performance in the movie Nightcrawler.
