Often described as a "comedy horror rock musical," Little Shop of Horrors is based on the 1960 film The Little Shop of Horrors directed by Roger Corman. In 1982, the dynamic duo of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast, etc.) transformed the story into an off-Broadway musical, which eventually landed on the big screen in the 1986 Frank Oz film starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene and Steve Martin.
Set in a flower shop on Skid Row, Seymour is a nerdy floral clerk with a knack for plants, but not much else. However, one peculiar plant he's tending might just be his ticket to fame, fortune - and the girl of his dreams. There's only one teeny - but 'growing' - problem: This plant has an unquenchable thirst for the red stuff (type O, A, or B... he's not picky). Mixing Motown, B-movies, and The American Dream, Little Shop of Horrors is the out-of-this-world hit musical featuring songs like "Skid Row (Downtown)," "Somewhere That's Green," and "Suddenly, Seymour."
