Little Shop Of Horrors at James York Playhouse

In Little Shop of Horrors, a delightfully dark rock musical with a sci-fi twist, Seymour Krelborn, a meek florist down on his luck, stumbles upon a strange plant. Naming it Audrey II after his crush at the shop, Seymour soon discovers this peculiar plant thrives on a rather unusual diet: human blood.

As Audrey II grows bigger and demands more blood, Seymour finds himself caught in a twisted Faustian bargain. He feeds the plant with increasingly desperate measures, all to win the affections of Audrey and achieve a modicum of success. The catchy 1960s-style rock and roll score, with unforgettable songs like "Skid Row (Downtown)" and "Suddenly Seymour," perfectly complements the show's darkly comedic tone. Little Shop of Horrors isn't just about a bloodthirsty plant; it's a biting satire on ambition, desire, and the lengths people go to in pursuit of their dreams.
