Review: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Ogunquit Playhouse Photo
Review: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Ogunquit Playhouse
by Dan Marois - Sep 10, 2024

This is one of those offbeat musicals that entertains you with its unusual charm, catchy tunes, and cartoon-like characters. With the plot line featuring a talking plant that feeds only on human blood, this is not your grandmother’s kind of musical. (Unless your grandmother regularly attends the wide variety of shows performed at the Ogunquit Playhouse.)
