Little Shop of Horrors - 2003 Broadway History , Info & More

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.

Review - Hamlet & Little Shop of Horrors
by Kristin Salaky - June 18, 2008


Eloquence without the elegance is how I'd describe Michael Stuhlbarg's scruffy, hyperactive and somewhat nerdy take on the title role in director Oskar Eustis' amusing hodgepodge of a production of Hamlet. Though perfectly placid for the first several minutes of his performance, silently contemplating his father's death and his uncle's marriage to his newly widowed mother at a downstage eternal flame that perpetually flickers its symbolism throughout the evening, he's soon wildly wringing his hands with nervous excitement, flailing his arms about in range and stomping his feet to the floor like the kind of actor he'll later be warning his players not to be. In fact, it's not until the prince starts feigning madness that he begins resembling a grown-up. It's not an interpretation that will tug at your soul, but it'll damn well get your attention without taxing your brain.
