Little Shop of Horrors, the stage and screen musical that has circled the globe for over 30 years, consuming audiences with chills, thrills and laughter, arrived Monday night at Feinstein's/54Below. One unprecedented evening brought together performers from the original production through the Broadway revival for stories told, reminiscences shared, and songs sung.
Conceived by Robby Merkin (orchestrator of the original production and Grammy-nominated cast album; music director & arranger of the Oscar nominated film) and Stephen Nachamie (Associate Director - She Loves Me - Broadway Revival) - who began his career as a 14 year old Production Assistant to the off Broadway production of LITTLE SHOP.
From "Somewhere That's Green" to "Suddenly Seymour," revel once again in the words of Golden Globe, Grammy, and Oscar winner Howard Ashman (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Smile) and music of Tony, Grammy, and Oscar winner Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Newsies, Sister Act) Grab your tickets, cry, "Feed me!," and prepare for the excitement of what promises to be a formidable and unforgettable evening.
