Mill Mountain Theatre presents the hilarious Little Shop Of Horrors, October 4th-22nd. From the music & lyrical team that brought you the original animated film "Disney's Beauty & The Beast" comes a musical of a different style. Part horror comedy musical, part sci-fi spoof; all delicious fun, Little Shop of Horrors has been making audiences all over the country scream with laughter since its debut in the early 80's.

Nine actors from all over the country come together in Roanoke to bring you the cult musical classic Little Shop of Horrors running October 4th-22nd on the Trinkle Main Stage at Mill Mountain Theatre. The show is based off the 1960 low-budget cult film directed by Roger Corman, starring Jonathan Haze as Seymour and Jackie Joseph as Audrey. The original Off-Broadway production ran for five years after its premiere at the Orpheum Theatre in 1982.

The past four weeks the cast, crew, and creative team have been hard at work creating the big show you'll see every night!

Director Alicia Varcoe "This cult favorite musical is sure to please our Roanoke Valley audiences- its equal parts funny, frightening and touching, and full of catchy songs. I'm thrilled to work with such a stellar cast to bring this musical to Mill Mountain Theatre for the very first time."

Producing Artistic Director, Ginger Poole, choreographs. "For the creative team, Little Shop was on all our bucket lists," she says, "So it just makes sense this year to bring this to Roanoke."
