One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman (the duo that redefined the animated musical film genre with Disney's "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty And The Beast" and more), is a rock musical about a hapless florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood. The music, composed by Menken in the style of early 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop and early Motown, includes several show-stoppers including "Skid Row (Downtown)", "Somewhere That's Green", and "Suddenly, Seymour", as well as the title song. Directed and Choreographed by Josh Rhett Noble. Musical direction by Peter Jones.
