LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Mercury Theater Chicago

Assistant at Mushniks flower shop, orphan Seymour Krelborn is in search of an escape from his poverty-stricken life on an urban skid-row, and in love with his co-worker, Audrey. After obtaining a mysterious carnivorous plant, whom he names Audrey II, he discovers that it survives only by blood, and it quickly blossoms into a fully-fledged local attraction that propels the flower shop to success. But as the shops popularity grows, so does Audrey IIs hunger for blood, along with Audreys love for Seymour. Before long, Seymour discovers Audrey IIs extra-terrestrial roots and her ultimate desire for world domination.
